What is a CTE Program?
CTE programs are comprised of at least three CTE courses or units of study that together form a cohesive concentration. Located in high schools and BOCES, CTE programs provide academic and technical instruction in the content areas of • agriculture, • business and marketing, • family and consumer sciences, • health occupations, • trade and technical education, • and/or technology education. Cohesive concentrations are groups of courses or units of study that when combined make up a program. These courses or units of study may be from a single CTE content area, or from a combination of content areas. These programs may be provided with supplemental federal funding from the Carl D. Perkins Career and Technical Education Improvement Act of 2006 (Perkins IV). All CTE programs are categorized for reporting purposes as General CTE and Title II CTE.
