(CTE) Career Technical Education 

Once you become a Ukiah High Wildcat, one of the many acronyms that you'll hear on campus is CTE. "You should take this CTE class!" "I have 2 more classes to complete my CTE pathway." "Did you know that some CTE classes can count toward your A-G and VPA Requirements?" So what exactly are CTE classes, and what is their purpose? 

CTE = Career Technical Education

According to the California Department of Education, Career Technical Education is "A program of study that involves a multiyear sequence of courses that integrates core academic knowledge with technical and occupational knowledge to provide students with a pathway to postsecondary education and careers." Our CTE Standards are organized around 15 industry sectors which are graphed below: 

Of these 15 industry sectors, Ukiah High School offers a WHOPPING 21 CTE Career Pathways.

Many students are able to complete more than one by the time they graduate!
