On August 4, the VTEA changed it’s name to VTEEA adding engineering as a part of its strength to support you and your students for the changes taking place in the future workforce and/or continuation of post secondary education. Engineering gives strength to the STEM Program and your classroom curricula. We as Technology Education educators need to give our students every advantage possible to survive in the real world. Just 54% of students entering a four-year college had a degree within six years while the balance of 46% of students who attend college fail to even complete a four-year degree. Membership will enable you to stay abreast of the changes in education at the state level, state legislature policies and the needs in industry.
