Commonly Asked Questions:
Why should I enroll in a CTE program? Students should enroll in CTE programs because it allows them to explore various industries and graduate with certifications within a field. Students have the ability to work in their related field after high school or choose to continue their education through post-secondary learning.
What if I want to go to college? How will this affect me? The biggest myth and misguided information is a student who enrolls in a CTE program does not plan to attend college. Students have the ability to enroll in programs that are college bound career clusters. Students who enroll in a CTE program at the HS level develop the fundamentals for their career path. It also assists students in determining if this is the right career choice before entering into post-secondary education.
Do CTE courses count towards my graduation? YES! Students who enroll in CTE courses can potentially earn up to 8 credits of personalized elective credits.
What if I don't know what CTE program to choose? One of the best ways for you to determine your skill set strengths is to take a Career Interest Inventory.
