Racial justice 
Right now is a critical time to pursue a holistic approach to equity, social justice, and inclusion. The center has developed the Racial Equity, Diversity, and Inclusion movement designed to increase members of the CETE community’s knowledge and skills relevant to the posture and practice of cultural humility, identify and establish anti-racist norms, practices, and policies at CETE, and contribute to the dismantling of institutional racism within CETE’s spheres of influence. Explore professional development materials and resources to transform knowledge on these topics into meaningful action. 

Learning experiences
Being at the forefront of new learning technologies and the learners’ growing needs allows the center to develop and redesign professional learning experiences. Our center offers a collection of educational resources  through the newly expanded online learning catalog, countless workshops, conferences, and training programs for public and private sectors.
