Teachers: quick question. When do your CTE students learn the business and employability skills that go with their technical training, communication, problem-solving, basic financial literacy, professionalism?
If your answer is "whenever the business teacher and I can find 20 minutes to plan together," you're not alone. Research backs this up: one CTE Journal study found that pathways like health science and IT are strong on technical content but consistently miss the employability layer, because it usually only gets taught inside the business department. And teachers rarely have the time to cross-collaborate to fill that gap themselves (a RAND study found only 31% do).
That's exactly the hole I built Wavelength Instructional Systems to fill. Same core business concepts, already localized to all 14 career clusters, so whether you teach welding, culinary, health science, or cosmetology, the material already fits your field. Use it alongside what you're already teaching, no rebuilding required.

Would love to know what pathway you teach and whether this would help!
