CTE

Career Technical Education 

A Real High School Experience with more Value

1. CTE is hands-on learning at its best. It puts students at

the center of the action!

2. Act now: Make the most of your high school years. CTE is

your chance to try on careers, to find what you love to

do, right now, before you graduate into the “real world.”

3. CTE leads to college. If you are inspired about careers

and career paths, you are likely to choose college. CTE

can get you there! Also, some students earn college

credits in CTE while in high school.

4. CTE inspires students who aren’t excited about textbook

learning. It makes what they’re learning relevant to the

real world, and offers a reason to stay in school, excel in

class, and graduate.

5. CTE delivers career-ready, skilled students that

employers seek. Local employers can talk about the

value of real-world learning and why they like to hire

CTE students.

6. CTE offers access to job shadows, internships, and more.

Local employers can talk about how they offer these

opportunities to CTE students, giving them a leg up on

their careers.
