What is Career and Technical Education?

Career and Technical Education (CTE) includes middle and high school students taking courses in one of 17 career clusters. These courses are part of an overall program of study designed to prepare students to be successful in a rapidly changing workforce and equip them to make informed decisions about future college and career pathways. CTE offers students opportunities to earn highly valued industry certifications and to develop a multitude of skills while experiencing rigorous curriculum with real world applications. CTE students who are enrolled in a career education program and meet additional requirements may be eligible for scholarships, including the Gold Seal Bright Futures Scholarship.
