What is CTE?
What is CTE?
In high school, we are all trying to figure out where our interests lie and what we want to do when we graduate. But how can we really be sure what career to pursue unless we’ve actually tried one out?
Conejo Valley Unified School District’s (CVUSD’s) CTE Career Pathways Program proudly offers students at the district’s secondary-level schools unique academic offerings to follow their passions and master strategic employability skills. This coursework guides students as they form essential career connections and can act as a gateway to employment.
Career Technical Education (CTE) provides students with the academic, technical, and real-world knowledge, skills, and experience they need to be prepared for a variety of career options. CTE gives students training and skills in many different types of careers in high-growth industries such as science and technology, health care, and business management. CTE programs are personalized, and hands-on and let students explore different career fields.
