Career Technology Education (CTE) is a cornerstone of a national inititative to increase the competitiveness of teh U.S. workforce in the global economy. CTE provides students with a variety of skills:
Core academic skills and how to apply them to real-world situations in the workplace or daily life
Employability skills essential in any career
Occupationally-specific, technical skills related to a specific career pathway
Participating in CTE gives students a foundation for career success by integrating rigorous academic content with job-occupationally-specifc techincal skills and hands-on learning. Students who complete a CTE program of study in high school will be prepared to earn an aligned idustry-based certification, obtain an entry-level position, or pursue postsecondary education and training in their chosen career fields.
