About the Pima JTED Foundation
The JTED Foundation’s purpose is to strengthen the success of career and technical education students, teachers, and programs across all CTE programs throughout JTED and its 14 member districts. Established in 2019, the foundation supports initiatives to strengthen and grow CTE across the 12,000 square miles of southern Arizona that represent the JTED District’s service delivery area. The Foundation works to align programs more closely with post secondary and industry opportunity, to support teacher recruitment and retention, and to deliver actionable, impactful, regionally aligned strategies to create prosperity for our community and our students.
The true success of our work is not measured by how a student does in class, but how they do in life.
