ATEA is a 501(c)(3) --we invite you to support this venerable and relevant association dedicated to technical education through your tax deductible donation

Donate to ATEA

The American Technical Education Association (ATEA) was founded in 1928 for the purpose of communicating the role and importance of technical education. Today, we have a network of faculty, administrators and businesses from 46 states who connect through ATEA. ATEA identifies technology and trends that effect technical education both now and in the future. We bring together national experts, technical college members, and -industry partners to share their work in Best Practice Calls, conferences-both on site and virtual, the ATEA Journal, and on the website. You will build relationships that will help you know

what to look for,

who is implementing it-with a connection to them

and

what to monitor before choosing the innovation and making the investment in program and equipment.
