Real options for students for college and rewarding careers
Real-world skills for students
Real middle and high school experience with more value for students
CTE programs allow students to explore a range of options for their future - inside and outside of the classroom.
Through CTE, students can start their path toward a career that they are passionate about, while earning valuable experience, college credits and more.
Career and Technical Education gives students opportunities to figure out what they are passionate about and want to do - and not do - after high school.
Students explore a range of career options based on what they love to do and do well. CTE helps build confidence and leadership skills to meet their goals in and out of the classroom.
Courses in Career and Technical Education are designed to contribute to the broad educational achievement of students, including basic skills such as reading, writing, and mathematics, as well as their ability to work independently and as part of a team, think creatively, solve problems, and utilize technology.
CTE courses are provided through various program areas.
Career Clusters contain occupations in the same field of work that require similar skills. Students, parents, and educators can use Career Clusters to help focus education plans towards obtaining the necessary knowledge, competencies, and training for success in a particular career pathway.
