Why CTE?
Ensuring students are "college and career ready" has become a critical issue as concerns rise about the success of the US education system and ultimately, the country's economic competitiveness. The discussion surrounding college readiness is generally limited to academic skills, but actual career readiness requires an even more rigorous blend of academic, technical, and employable skills, and the ability to apply these skills in authentic career situations. The foundation for strengthening career readiness is already in place through Career and Technical Education (CTE), which offers this unique blend of skills through comprehensive programs of study.

What We Provide
Career & Technical Education provides all students with the academic and technical skills, knowledge, and training necessary to succeed in future careers and to become lifelong learners.
In total, about 12.5 million high school and college students are enrolled in CTE across the nation. CTE prepares these learners for the world of work by introducing them to workplace competencies, and makes academic content accessible to students by providing it in a hands-on context.

CTE Advisory Board
Purpose and Objectives:The purpose of the CTE Advisory Board is to help align our Career and Technical Education program with the needs of employers in the community by ensuring our programs teach the most up-to-date skills required to prepare students for their post-secondary options. An advisory committee is essential to CTE programs because local business and industry leaders have firsthand knowledge concerning current business trends, technological demands, and employment expectations.CTE programs based on current occupational skills facilitate the transition of students from school to work. In addition, the Advisory Board can assist in making the best use of resources by being responsive to social, economic, and cultural changes.
