Career Technical Education (CTE) provides students  with the academic and technical skills, knowledge and training necessary to succeed in future careers and to become lifelong learners. CTE prepares these learners for the world of work by introducing them to workplace competencies, and makes academic content accessible to students by providing it in a hands-on context. The CTE programs in our schools furnish students with the opportunity to have guest speakers, field trips, workplace experiences related to a chosen career, and an industry credential or college credits.
