Career and Technical Education
Career and Technical Education
(CTE) is a blend of academic, career-specific, general workplace, and
life skills leading to further education and employment. CTE is an
essential component of the secondary curriculum. It is a critical element
in meeting the needs of students in academic achievement, career
exploration, career preparation, and leadership development.
CTE is managed according to a strategic plan containing the
vision, mission, and measurable goals and objectives leading to
successful CTE program implementation.
