WHAT IS CTE?

CTE provides students with the academic and technical skills, knowledge, and training necessary to succeed in future careers and to be a lifelong learner. CTE courses, programs, and training focus on the technical and academic skills needed to attain and maintain high-skill, high-demand careers. A quality CTE experience offers opportunities for learning in Career Awareness, Career Exploration, and Career Readiness to students at a variety of grade levels. In addition to technical training and career foundations, CTE courses also offer a wide range of additional educational benefits, including critical thinking development, technical literacy, public speaking skills, leadership development, and planning/organization skills. Qualifying courses and course instructors also offer college credit, industry certification, and internships for students.
