CTE
Career and Technical Education (CTE) is a premiere educational delivery system, incorporating academic rigor and technical standards along with critical thinking and essential workplace skills. Problem-solving, communication, teamwork, and leadership are all core components of our CTE programs. To ensure college and career success for its students, CTE reflects the modern workplace. CTE partners with employers to design and provide high-quality, dynamic programs. The program offerings are aligned to current, emerging, and projected labor market needs. Students also can earn industry recognized certifications and college credits while still in high school. CTE is delivered through comprehensive programs of study aligned to the National Career Clusters Framework. This framework encompasses 16 career clusters, which then branch out to 81 career pathways and hundreds of different career opportunities along these pathways.
