WHAT IS THE PURPOSE OF CAREER AND TECHNICAL EDUCATION (CTE)?
CTE provides students with technical training to prepare for a successful career. The structured training each student receives gives him or her the tools needed to be successful in a job after high school and/or further his or her postsecondary education, whether technical school, two-year college, or four-year college. Each student is encouraged to explore various areas of study and to develop the essential skills to feel competent in entering today’s competitive job market.
