CABINET COUNCIL FOR CAREER & TECHNOLOGY EDUCATION
The Governor established the Cabinet Council for Career and Technology Education in 1993 (Executive Order 01.01.1993.05). The Council was to set the strategic direction for a system of career and technology education that met business needs, was based on competency, and focused on measurable outcomes. The Council coordinated planning for career and technology education by the State Department of Education, the Maryland Higher Education Commission, and the Department of Business and Economic Development. To further career and technology education in Maryland, the Council worked to ensure that departmental, legislative and budgetary recommendations of these agencies reflected a sharing of resources and plans.

Chaired by the State Superintendent of Schools, the Council had three ex officio members.

The Council last met in 2002.
