Career and Technical Education
Career and Technical Education (CTE) programs prepare students for more than a good-paying job. It is the beginning of a career path.
Today's workers are lifelong learners, and the reality is that "cutting-edge skills" aren't cutting edge for long. Today's workers need access to formal and informal training opportunities to remain competitive. CTE programs are the solution for securing this training.
