About Texas CTE Programs of Study

Texas CTE (Career and Technical Education) Programs of Study are coherent, rigorous sequences of courses aligning academics with technical skills, preparing high school students for careers or college through pathways like Health Science, IT, Engineering, and more, often leading to industry certifications and work-based learning, with refreshed programs implemented for 2025-2026 focusing on high-demand fields and CCMR readiness. 

Perkins V is federal legislation requiring states that receive federal CTE funds to align CTE programs of study to high-wage, in-demand, and high-skill occupations. The Division of College, Career, and Military Preparation has engaged members of the workforce, secondary education, and higher education to advise on the development and recent refresh of programs of study, which include coherent course sequences, industry-based certifications, and work-based learning opportunities to ensure students are prepared for high-wage, in-demand, and high-skill careers in Texas.
