Putnam County's Career and Technical Education (CTE) programs of study are meant to provide a relevant framework of industry-aligned, rigorous courses that progress a student in knowledge and skills year over year. They provide invaluable opportunities for students to experience a subject they are passionate about and explore interests that lead to post-secondary learning and future career paths. These sequenced courses also reflect and support the three-credit elective focus requirement for graduation. Level one courses are encouraged to be taken by students in ninth grade. The CTE program provides students the opportunity to gain knowledge and experience to be better prepared for future career options.

Early postsecondary opportunities (EPSOs) include a course and/or exam that give students a chance to obtain postsecondary credit while still in high school. Courses (whether stand-alone or in conjunction with an exam for postsecondary credit) must be aligned to higher education standards. Early postsecondary opportunities ensure that students are ready to take advantage of education and training after high school. There are several types of early postsecondary opportunities available in Tennessee. View a side-by-side comparison on the chart above for each type of early postsecondary opportunity available in Tennessee. Early postsecondary offerings vary widely by school district and more information can be found HERE
