About CTE

Career Technical Education is a program of study that involves a multi-year sequence of courses that integrates core academic knowledge with technical and occupational knowledge to provide students with a pathway to post-secondary education and careers.

What is a Career Pathway?

• A Pathway is a sequence of courses within your area of interest.
• A Pathway will connect your career interests from high school to college and/or career.
• A Pathway is your educational road map guiding you to the high school courses and post-secondary options most relevant to your chosen career destination.
• A Pathway will help you acquire the depth of knowledge and skill linked with specific post-secondary programs that will lead to a certificate or degree and/or career.
• You choose, you decide what Pathway is right for you.
