CTE and Work-Based Learning

CTE Student Follow-Up Survey Please complete by March 10.

 

Career and Technical Education (CTE) provides students with the academic knowledge and technical skills they need to gain entry into high-skill, high-wage, and high-demand industries. CTE offers work-based learning experiences with hands-on learning to prepare students for the workforce or college.

Career and Technical Education Programs

Each pathway provides students the ability to earn college credit, industry credentials, and gain experience through work-based learning. Learn more by visiting the CTE website or click on the links below.
