Career and Technical Education is a planned program of courses and learning experiences that begins with exploration of career options, supports basic academic and life skills, and enables achievement of high academic standards, leadership, preparation for industry-defined work, and advanced and continuing education.
CTE connects challenging technical courses with demanding academics, preparing students for a range of careers. This type of crosscutting, integrated design creates multiple pathways for students to explore and pursue after high school, allowing them realistic opportunities to go on to either a two- or four-year educational institution (or both) or to enter the job market with a wide range of in-demand skills already in hand.
