CCTE is a capstone course designed to assist students in the development of effective employability skills and attitudes through practical, advanced instruction in school and on the job. Students enrolled in the CCTE program spend half of the school day at school and the other half in on-the-job 25 training supervised by the designated training sponsor and coordinated by the teacher-coordinator. A plan that identifies training to be provided is developed by the teacher-coordinator with the assistance of the training sponsor and the student-trainee. Related instruction includes the following broad areas of emphasis: future career educational opportunities, planning for college, careers, scholarship opportunities, job-seeking skills, personal development, appropriate methods of job termination, worker safety, and ethical decision making in the workplace. Additional topics include: economics, consumerism, banking and credit, budgeting, saving and investing, insuring against loss, taxes and taxation, Social Security and IRAs, and responsible citizenship. This course meets the state's consumer education requirement for graduation.
Complete and Submit the Attached CCTE Application Form by January 30 of the student's Junior year for the upcoming Senior school-year.
