What do CTE students offer Arizona? A lot! What is CTE really about? Giving students technical skills to find their place in the world of work. Whether students choose to be self-employed, employing others, or working for an employer, skills will be needed to earn a living and be a contributor to society. The national association for CTE has the stats to prove how valuable CTE is to all of our students in Scottsdale, greater Arizona, and the entire U.S.
