Message from the Director
Amber-Renee Boyd
Career and Technical Education (CTE) programs offer students hands-on training and real-world experience in a variety of career fields. CTE programs are designed to prepare students for the workforce or for further education, such as a college or technical school. There has been a growing recognition of the importance of CTE programs in preparing students for high-demand, high-wage careers. As a result, there have been several developments in this field, such as:
Increased funding: The federal government has increased funding for CTE programs, providing more resources for schools and colleges to expand their offerings and improve their facilities.
Emphasis on industry partnerships: Many CTE programs are partnering with local businesses and industry leaders to provide students with real-world experience and help them develop the skills they need to succeed in their chosen careers.
Overall, CTE programs continue to play an important role in preparing students for the workforce and helping them achieve their career goals. With ongoing developments and improvements in this field, students can expect to have even more opportunities to develop the skills and experience they need to succeed in today's job market.
