What is Career and Technical Education?

Career and Technical Education (CTE) courses provide a variety of opportunities for students to explore their career interests while developing important academic, technical, leadership, and practical skills necessary for success in college, career and life.  CTE courses are offered at each of our high schools and are taken as part of a student's regular daily academic schedule. Many of these courses provide college credit as well as equivalency credit for other academic requirements including Art, Math, Science, PE and Health.  In addition, CTE courses provide students:

• Preparation for High Demand Fields
• Access to State of the Art Technologies
• Engaging, Real World Projects and Challenges
• Student Leadership Clubs including DECA, FBLA, FCCLA, TSA, FFA, Skills USA, WCTSMA, and FIRST Robotics
• Skill Competitions at the local, regional, state, and national levels
• Career and College Exploration and Connections
