Upcoming Conference

ACTE’s CareerTech VISION 2025

Chmura will be attending ACTE’s CareerTech VISION 2025 in Nashville on December 9–12, where thousands of career and technical education professionals gather to explore the future of workforce development, education innovation, and regional economic alignment.

This annual conference brings together CTE leaders, state agencies, workforce partners, and industry experts to address one of the field’s most pressing challenges: aligning programs with labor market demand in a way that supports employers, strengthens communities, and creates clear, equitable pathways for learners.

Chmura’s consulting team works closely with ACTE’s partners nationwide to translate complex labor market data into actionable insights. At VISION 2025, our experts will be available to discuss how data-informed strategies can help education and workforce organizations:

• Identify high-wage, high-demand career pathways
• Find emerging opportunities that current programs may not yet serve
• Evaluate equity, access, and long-term competitiveness within pathways
• Demonstrate the impact of programs on wage growth, alignment, and learner progression

Riley Ford, Economic Consultant, and Jason Roundtree, Client Relationship Manager, will be on site representing Chmura. They look forward to meeting with leaders who want to strengthen their CTE strategy and better connect programs with regional economic needs.

If you plan to attend CareerTech VISION 2025 and would like to schedule time with our team, please contact us in advance. We look forward to connecting in Nashville.
