Career Technical Education (CTE)  

Hands-on Experience

Our CTE programs provide students with practical, hands-on training in various vocational fields, ranging from culinary skills, computer literacy to construction and welding. 

Internship & Networks

Furthermore, our CTE programs often collaborate with local businesses and industries, offering students real-world experiences through internships, job shadowing, and apprenticeships. These partnerships not only expose students to the demands and expectations of the workforce but also provide networking opportunities that can lead to future employment prospects.

Earn College Credit While in High School

Students at David City City Public Schools are able to take a variety of college credit classes through Central Community College allowing them to earn college credits while still in high school. Students are also able to take individualized online Apex courses and offer dual credit in English 12 and College Algebra for students to accelerate their academic and career pathways, reducing the time and cost associated with obtaining post-secondary education. These credits are transferable to many colleges and universities, giving students a head start in their higher education pursuits.

Inclusivity & Support

Additionally, our CTE programs promote inclusivity by catering to a wide range of student interests and abilities. By offering diverse pathways in areas such as culinary arts, floriculture, graphic design, web design and construction. CTE programs accommodate students with varying talents and preferences. This inclusivity fosters a supportive learning environment where students can thrive and develop skills that align with their passions and strengths.

Community Involvement 

Our CTE programs contribute to economic growth by addressing workforce demands and filling critical skill gaps. As industries evolve and technology advances, there is an increasing need for skilled workers in sectors such as healthcare, manufacturing, and information technology. CTE programs play a vital role in meeting these demands by equipping students with the technical skills and competencies required for high-demand occupations.
