The Governor established the Cabinet Council for Career and Technology Education in 1993 (Executive Order 01.01.1993.05). The Council sets the strategic direction for a system of career and technology education that meets business needs, is based on competency, and focuses on measurable outcomes. The Council coordinates planning for career and technology education by the State Department of Education, the Maryland Higher Education Commission, and the Department of Business and Economic Development. To further career and technology education in Maryland, the Council ensures that departmental, legislative and budgetary recommendations of these agencies reflect a sharing of resources and plans.

The Council has three ex officio members. It is chaired by the State Superintendent of Schools.
