What is CTE?
Career and Technical Education (CTE) helps prepare students who want to embark on a career trajectory while still in high school. Students can explore from over 18 pathways, each with three to four sequenced courses. Students can enter a pathway or explore at any point in their 6th-12th grade journey, with very few prerequisites. Students who choose to take multiple courses within a pathway may have the opportunity to earn industry certifications and college credit while still in high school. All pathways offer the opportunity to connect with future employers through work-based learning experiences like career tours, job shadowing, and internships.
Engage in a CTE pathway and you’ll be ready – ready for a career, ready for a job, ready for college, and ready for the future!
