CTE/ROP Pathways
Career & Technical Education (CTE) is a program of study that involves a multilayer sequence of courses that integrates core academic knowledge with technical and occupational knowledge to provide students with a pathway to postsecondary education and careers.
Courses teach students to succeed in careers and college in a professional, hands-on environment. Courses are offered within a variety of industry sectors where students can explore and develop technical skills that will lead them to higher education or into the workplace.

Our interns are here to guide and mentor you and your student(s).
Academic interns primarily work with the students and are often placed in classes for in-class tutoring, subject may vary. Academic interns also have one-on-one advising meetings with each student in the GEAR UP cohort yearly, which include going over their academic plan, career goals, community service, extracurricular activities, and high school graduation requirements.
FIC intern works directly with the guardians/parents of the students. FIC interns have one-on-one meetings with each guardian to go over how their student is doing in school and areas of support.
