WHAT IS CAREER AND TECHNICAL EDUCATION?

Career and Technical Education (CTE) equips students with a combination of technical, academic, and career-readiness skills that prepare them for success after high school. CTE courses are designed to engage students through hands-on learning experiences that strengthen their problem-solving, time management, and critical thinking abilities while fostering a strong work ethic.

For students planning to enter the workforce, CTE provides valuable training and real-world experience that translate directly into career opportunities after graduation. Meanwhile, college-bound students can explore potential majors and career interests through CTE programs, gaining insight and direction before continuing their education. Completing a CTE Program of Study also gives students a competitive edge in college applications and future career pursuits.
