Career and Technical Student Organizations - CTSOs

Welcome

Currently, over 55,000 students are participating in Career and Technical Student Organizations (CTSOs). These dynamic organizations develop academic success through applied academics, promotion of choice, and identification of career options while fostering interpersonal skills in teamwork, communications, human relations, and social interactions. CTSOs encourage excellence in scholarship, build character, promote citizenship, volunteerism, and patriotism, endorse cooperation and cooperative attitudes among all people, and provide opportunities for state, national, and international travel through internships, camps, and leadership conferences. The six Arizona CTSOs are DECA, FBLA, FCCLA, FFA, HOSA, and SkillsUSA.
