Abstract	The purpose of the study was to identify perceptions currently held among school counselors towards postsecondary career and technical education. Q methodology provides an opportunity to study individual's subjective reality using both quantitative and qualitative methods. Literature on CTE, the roles of counselors, and student outcomes were used to develop a set of statements. Then, counselors sorted the statements according to personal views of postsecondary CTE. A post-survey gathered demographic information and provided an in-depth understanding about each individual participant's sort. Data analysis indicated three distinct and statistically significant factor groups: CTE Experienced, CTE Spectators, and Stereotypical Stigma group. The findings of this study generate considerations for practice, policy, and further research in the field of CTE perceptions and outcomes. (As Provided).
