LDOE Apprenticeship Planning

Thank you John Spain for all you do for CTEC!

WHAT IS A REGISTERED APPRENTICESHIP?

Registered Apprenticeship is a unique, federally regulated, workforce development strategy that has proven a strong return on investment for employers. It is an earn and learn strategy and a career pathway that provides apprentices with both hands-on experiences, as well as classroom training to ensure they are proficient at their occupation. The apprentice acquires competencies and knowledge in their field, and by the end of their apprenticeship, they will receive a portable, nationally recognized credential to showcase their skills in their industry. The employer gains a fully trained, certified, and knowledgeable employee added to their workforce.

The Future is Here, Are You Ready?

We got to experience Waymo this week. I can remember watching the Jetson's as a child and thinking that we should be in flying cars by now! Well, we are getting closer with driverless vehicles. It was definitely a treat in Phoenix Arizona this week while we received Career and Technical Education training.

Electronic Device Policy

We need your help to ensure our students are focused and preparing for their career choice at CTEC.

All students will be expected to put away these electronic devices during instructional time. Students not following CTEC guidelines will be disciplined according to the EBR Parish Rights and Responsibilities Handbook.

Easy to follow instructions.

Reach out to your home school if you run into any roadblocks.

CTEC Application Portal for 24-25 is OPEN!

CTEC is a specialized program for high school students in the Capital region. Students get hands-on training in a small group environment by instructors who are credentialed and have worked in their craft area.
Students from our high schools can apply to attend CTEC for ½ day progamming that allows them to take specialized courses, many of which are dual enrollment courses with BRCC.
By still attending their home school, students have the flexibility of a specialized college type experience but also access to high school courses, extracurricular activities, and other high school experiences.
