The DLCTE Toolkit has three major sections: program components, documents and forms, and additional resources. The program components will guide librarians through major pieces of our program including being a workplace partner and\/or managing a program that places CTE students in library settings for their work-based learning. Within documents and forms, you will see downloadable templates that you can edit to fit your needs. Additional resources include CTE career guides and a links to similar programs organized by libraries.

Learn the CTE Lifecycle<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/h4>\n

It can be a challenge to figure out the timeline for recruitment into a work-based learning program. Typically, these programs are built for high school seniors; they can be as short as a semester or may span their entire senior year. Learn about the expectations of CTE at your local high school and the process to get the students ready. Keep the following tips in mind as you plan for recruitment.<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

When to Recruit<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/h4>\n

Start early, recruit often! Work backwards to capture students when they\u2019re making decisions about their senior year, i.e.,\u00a0recruit juniors (maybe even sophomores or freshman!). While work-based learning programs happen during the <\/span>senior <\/span><\/i>year of high school, students often register for classes and programs during their <\/span>junior <\/span><\/i>year or even earlier. You\u2019ll need to work with the CTE teacher and administrators to see when and how you could meet with students interested in CTE to learn about working in a library.<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

How to Recruit<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/h4>\n

Many CTE programs will host a Recruitment Fair at the high school, typically in the spring for juniors to come and meet representatives from workplace partners. This is a chance to share information about your workplace and more importantly, your profession. Librarian stereotypes remain strong, so you will likely encounter high school students (and teachers and parents!) who think the work involves shushing, working in a quiet space, and reading books.
