Career and Technical Education (CTE) is learning that works. It prepares learners with diverse backgrounds and experiences for gainful employment and lifelong learning. Via proactive, engaging, flexible, and practical approaches, it provides technical and academic skills students need for career success, playing a foundational role in the overall betterment of society and economy.

CTE instruction must prepare all students to continue to learn in institutions of higher learning and provide quality training and opportunities for entry-level (or above) employment. Coeur d’Alene School District’s Career and Technical programs will provide rigorous instruction that integrates multiple academic areas into relevant and innovative ways to keep students interested and excited about their educational goals.

Many of these career pathways lead to industry certifications, post-secondary credits, and/or an industry externship.  In addition, each pathway is guided by a Technical Advisory Committee (TAC).  This committee consists of members who are local employers and post-secondary college representatives, providing support for students and ensuring students receive a robust curriculum aligned with current industry practices.
