Career & Technical Education
Hands-on learning and certifications for high-demand careers in healthcare, engineering, information technology, and skilled trades.
Students enrolled in an approved Career & Technical Education (CTE) program acquire the skills, knowledge, and professional practices necessary for success in college and the workforce. Students experience relevant, challenging, and industry-aligned curricula supported by current technology in learning environments that foster high academic achievement and skill development. Coursework is organized to provide both theory and hands-on experiences.
Students have an opportunity to participate in internships with business, industry, and education partners. The curriculum is assessed against national industry standards and meets the new Next Generation Learning Standards.
Students in CTE programs receive integrated instruction in academic subjects and earn the required fourth unit of ELA, third unit of math, and third unit of science. Upon the successful completion of the two-year program, CTE students meeting specific criteria will earn a Technical Endorsement on their diploma.
Students with disabilities enrolled in CTE programs will benefit from accommodations and curriculum modifications that are identified on their Individual Education Plans (IEP). Districts may be required to purchase additional services for students with disabilities in accordance with an IEP or 504 Plan to support access to the general education CTE curriculum.
