Career Technical Education

Career technical education (CTE) provides students of all ages with the academic and technical skills, as well as knowledge and training necessary to succeed in future careers and become lifelong learners. In total, about 12.5 million high school and college students are enrolled in CTE across the nation. CTE prepares these learners for the world of work by introducing them to workplace competencies and making academic content accessible to students through a hands-on learning environment.
