Why Your Program Needs Data, Not Just Instinct

Tuesday August 4, 2026 3:00pm - 3:45pm PDT

Terrace East

You know your community. You know your students. But does the data support your hunch?

This session breaks down how to ground CTE program decisions in real labor market data — not hallway hunches. We'll cover building a GAC that actually informs decisions, navigating Washington's ESD labor market tools, and spotting the difference between genuine demand and a shiny distraction.

Come ready to check your favorite program idea or trend. We might talk you out of it — or give you the data to prove you were right. We'll also talk how to document your data to support approval and implementation.

You'll leave with: a practical process for data-driven program decisions, direct links to key LMD tools, and a framework for building a GAC that works.
