North Carolina Center for the Advancement of Teaching

This event showcased CTE student achievement and brought together families, educators, employers, Caldwell Community College and Technical Institute staff, along with leaders at Appalachian State University and connected students with regional career opportunities.

All eight regional finalists will be recognized at the NCCAT.

That's another acronym.

Their 2027 NCCAT.
