Task Forces, Committees and Work Groups
Committees and task forces comprised of system representatives assist the State Board in reviewing policy issues important to the system. These groups generally include State Board members, trustees, presidents, State Board staff, agency and higher education representatives.
Currently active groups include:

- Aerospace and Advanced Materials Manufacturing Pipeline Advisory Committee was established in statute in 2012 to assess the skills required by aerospace and related industries and provide guidance to the CTC system about how to meet those needs.
