This study focused on factors that affect whether or not CTE Educators stay in the teaching profession by using an online survey application with both quantitative and qualitative questions in a single design. From a population of 2607 teachers with valid email addresses, the total number of completed surveys was 623 participants. A two-phase of multiple linear regression was done. Five factors were found to be significant with the teachers’ retention plan: salary, administrative workloads, teachers’ evaluation, and assessment, motivation, and job satisfaction. A chi-square test was also done and showed significant relationships between the teachers’ age when entering the profession and their satisfaction with teaching. The findings contribute implications for educational stakeholders.
