Copyright Goodheart-Willcox Co., Inc. Chapter 1 Professional Communication 23 Review and Assessment 1 CTSOs Student Organizations. Career and technical stu- dent organizations (CTSOs) are a valuable asset to any educational program. These organizations support student learning and the application of the skills learned in real-world situations. Competitive events may be written, oral, or a combination of both. There is a variety of organizations from which to select, depending on the goals of your educational program. To prepare for any competitive event, complete the following activities. 1. Go to the website of your organiza- tion to find specific information for the events. Visit the site often as informa- tion changes quickly. If the organization has an app, download it to your digital device. 2. Read all the organization’s guidelines closely. These rules and regulations must be strictly followed, or disqualifi- cation can occur. 3. Communication plays a role in all the competitive events, so read which com- munication skills are covered in the event you select. Research and prepara- tion are important keys to a successful competition. 4. Select one or two events that are of inter- est to you. Print the information for the events and discuss your interest with your instructor.
