Career Technology
Career and Technical Education (CTE) gives high school students the chance to get a head start on preparing for college and careers.
CTE provides courses and Pathways consistent with industry standards. Exploratory courses begin in the seventh grade, and subsequent courses teach students specific job readiness and job skills, which can lead to employment and postsecondary education.
