CLNA Engagement Workshop™
Turn Your CLNA Into a Strategic Plan
A facilitated stakeholder engagement workshop designed to meet Perkins V requirements and produce actionable insights you can actually use.
Why Most CLNAs Miss the Mark
Every two years, districts are required to complete a Comprehensive Local Needs Assessment. Most CLNAs check the box. Very few create momentum.
District leaders tell us they struggle with:
- Low-quality or surface-level stakeholder feedback
- Surveys that don’t translate into clear priorities
- Disconnected conversations that don’t lead to strategy
- Documentation that satisfies compliance, but not leadership
The result?
A CLNA that lives in a binder instead of guiding decisions.

A Better Way to Engage Your Community
The CLNA Engagement Workshop™ is a structured, facilitator-led experience that brings the right people into the room, guides them through meaningful dialogue, and produces defensible, documented input aligned to Perkins V.
This isn’t a sit-and-get meeting.
It’s a working session designed to surface insight, build alignment, and identify priorities for the next two years.
What This Workshop Delivers
🗣️ Meaningful Community Input
Engage students, families, educators, administrators, and business partners through guided activities that elevate lived experience and real barriers.
🗂️ Compliance-Ready Documentation
Every activity is designed to generate artifacts you can reference in your CLNA submission, including:
- Participant workbooks
- Survey results
- Gallery walk notes
- Prioritized strategy outputs
✅ Clear, Prioritized Next Steps
The workshop doesn’t stop at “what’s wrong.” It helps districts identify which actions matter most and where to focus limited time and resources.

Built by CTE Leaders. Tested in Real Districts.
The structure of this workshop has been shaped and refined by CTE Directors across the country — leaders who have personally led CLNA processes in their own districts and understand the realities of stakeholder engagement, compliance, and time constraints.
The result:
- Clear themes around access, awareness, and work-based learning
- Prioritized strategies tied directly to district goals
- A comprehensive summary document that leadership teams can reference internally and externally
This is not theory. It’s a peer-informed, field-tested approach, built for real districts, real stakeholders, and real timelines.
