(Redirected from Career and Technical Student Organization)
Career and Technical Student Organizations (CTSOs) are vocational organizations primarily based in high schools and career technology centers. Often, on the state level, they are integrated into Departments of Education or incorporated as non-profit organizations. Many states define CTSOs as "integral parts" of the high school and college education programs. Many higher education institutions have been adding extracurricullar activities that are not athletic related in order to enhance the college experience.
