Career & Technical Education
The main purpose of Career and Technical Education is to equip
students for both academic success and career success in today’s
workforce. CTE programs provide students with technical skills,
integrated academics and employability skills & attitudes necessary
for success. These skills may help students work their way
through college or other post secondary school or may prepare
them for immediate career choices. Although academic courses
are commonly associated with preparation for college and technical
training as leading to immediate employment, in reality, many
students need both to achieve their goals in life. In today’s globally
competitive workplace, many individual employers require employability
and technical skills. There are sixteen (16) CTE program
areas or “Career Clusters”.
