Career, Technical, and Agricultural Education (CTAE) prepares our students for their next step after high school, whether that step leads them to college, beginning a career, apprenticeships, or the military. Riverdale CTAE pathway course offerings, and the new Educating Georgia's Future Workforce initiative, leverage partnerships with industry and higher education to ensure students have the skills they need to thrive in the future workforce.
-Georgia Department of Education
Each pathway consists of three classes that build upon each other. Upon the successful completion of all three classes students will take the end of pathway assessment. Only after the successful completion of all three classes and a passing score on the end of pathway assessment will students be considered pathway completers. In some pathways students will test for industry certifications.
