Career and technical education (CTE) is an important component of the modern American education system. Beyond a concentration in science, math, cultures, and literature, today’s students and parents seek a clear connection between learning and meaningful future employment. And employers expect those entering the workforce to be skilled and ready to work. CTE programs emphasize career readiness and promote skills needed for high-demand fields, enabling students to build successful careers and employers to find qualified staff.
We understand that CTE is comprehensive—a good program not only focuses on career and technical knowledge but also develops life skills, features hands-on learning, applies academic rigor, encourages student choice, and prioritizes successful student outcomes. We also know that CTE reflects local needs and that the development of CTE materials requires subject matter expertise and an individualized approach.
