During what time period did the concept ctso first begin?

The concept of CTSO, or Career and Technical Student Organization, began to take shape in the early to mid-20th century as vocational education programs expanded in the United States. The first national CTSO, Future Farmers of America (FFA), was established in 1928, followed by others like DECA and FBLA in the 1940s and 1950s. These organizations aimed to provide students with leadership skills, career development, and networking opportunities in their respective fields. Over time, CTSOs have grown to encompass a variety of industries and career pathways.
