Career & Technical Education

The Career and Technical Education (CTE) program is designed to equip students with practical skills and knowledge that prepare them for specific careers or further education in various fields. This program offers a range of courses that focus on hands-on learning experiences, often integrating academic subjects with vocational training. Students can explore areas such as healthcare, information technology, business, engineering, culinary arts, and more, allowing them to gain both theoretical understanding and real-world applications of their chosen fields.

In addition to classroom instruction, CTE programs often include opportunities for internships, job shadowing, and industry certifications, which enhance students’ employability upon graduation. By participating in CTE, students can discover their interests, develop technical skills, and earn college credit or industry-recognized credentials, giving them a competitive edge in the job market or in pursuing further education. Overall, the CTE program aims to bridge the gap between education and employment, helping students to transition smoothly into their future careers.
