What Is Career-Technical Education?

Career-Technical Education (CTE) is a program that combines regular classes with hands-on activities that teach you real-world skills. When you graduate, you will be ready to go to college, start a career, or join the military.

What to expect from CTE:

  • Learn from professionals who work in your career field of interest using new technology and equipment.
  • See how you can use what you learn in your classes in a future job.
  • Earn college credit and industry-recognized credentials before graduating high school.
