CHARIHOtech programs are designed to prepare students for entry-level positions in a number of industries and to prepare students to further their education at the post-secondary level. Career and Technical Education (CTE) is at the forefront of innovation in education. All of the career and technical programs have articulation and/or concurrent enrollment agreements with 2-year, 4-year, and technical institutions that provide high school students with earned college credits and advanced placement based on their successful completion of the program. The curricula for CHARIHOtech programs are developed based on national industry standards and post-secondary requirements. Students are evaluated through industry-validated assessments, many of which lead to nationally recognized industry certification. 

Students enrolled in a career and technical program must pass the course to advance to the next sequential program level. Each year, students must also pass the first semester (safety and foundational requirement) to advance to the second semester.
