Career and Technical Education (CTE) prepares students with the technical expertise, practical knowledge, and workplace readiness essential for both entering the workforce and pursuing higher education. It also helps students understand how their studies align with the needs of employers.

CTE programs serve as a crucial pathway to success for high school students, allowing them to customize their education based on their career goals and learning preferences. These programs prepare students for careers in both established and emerging industries.

At the middle school level, early career exploration through CTE programs include opportunities in Information Technology, Hospitality and Tourism, and Business Management and Administration. At the high school level, students have the opportunity to explore career interests in greater depth while developing technical and employability skills that complement their academic studies. Many CTE courses align with postsecondary education or additional training, leading to specialized technical instruction. These pathways culminate in degrees, certificates, apprenticeships, or direct employment.
