Is career and technical education only for students who are not college bound?
No. Career and technical education provides high school students the opportunity to learn specific skills that will enable them to become gainfully employed either full-time or part-time while in college. Students often find that rigorous academic content is easier to learn when it is tied to hands-on technical applications. The academic component of technical training ensures that students will also be prepared to go to college. Tech prep programs link high school and community college curricula to help students make a smooth transition to postsecondary education and careers. See Education/High school/Tech Prep.
