Book review of "Maintaining Strategic Relevance: Career and Technical Education Program Discontinuance in Community and Technical Colleges"

Abstract

Using a case study approach, the research catalogues and analyses district policies, shares data from interviews, and describes the impact of PD on people and institutional culture. CTE program offerings have higher delivery variables due to instructional equipment costs, regional labour markets, and federal workforce policy and legislation; these are described in chapter 2. In the context of Canada, the Higher Education Quality Council of Ontario's (HEQCO) recent publication entitled College Sustainability: Signal Data (April 18, 2017), forecasts that "demographic shifts will pose enrollment challenges for [the] Ontario college sector" in the very near future.
