WTEA Membership

Membership in the WTEA is open to educators and community stakeholders who seek to improve career-building education by focusing on our five Guiding Commitments:

Transparency

We believe that beneficial educational investments are based on well informed choices. We are committed to the transparency of information and data as it relates to the expectations, academic requirements, and outcomes reporting.

Learners

The role of the educator is to maximize learner success and skill acquisition to a meaningful outcome. We commit to assessing learner skill development and mastery, instructor effectiveness, and support-program design to ensure we maximize learner success.

Employers

Effective career-building education is a partnership between educators and employers. We commit to build and maintain our curriculum prioritizing feedback and input from employers with the direct objective of preparing our students for the workforce through skill-building academic experiences.

Outcomes

We measure our success as career-building educators by tracking the career preparation, progress, and satisfaction of our learners and employer partners. We commit to consistently acquiring data from our learners, alumni, and employers to ensure our educational experiences lead to workplace success.

Access

We believe that creating and promoting access to our programs will directly contribute to the diversity of ideas and thoughts in an academic community, and will lead to a stronger, more engaged, and more reflective talent pool for employers. We commit to seek additional pathways to engage a diverse set of students and to maximize their preparation for workplace success.
