Career Technical Education (CTE)

Career Technical Education (CTE) provides elementary, middle, and high school students with rigorous academic knowledge, technical mastery, and professional skills to build a Competitive Advantage in future careers. CTE prepares all students for the world of work by introducing them to industry certifications, college credits, and real-world experiences outside the classroom. At the elementary level, students explore careers and identify their talents, interests, passions, and strengths. Middle school students engage with industry and connect with the programs available at our high schools.
