Understanding Career and Technical Education (CTE): Skills for Future Careers

Career and Technical Education (CTE) is an essential component of the education system that provides students with crucial technical skills, knowledge, and training in specific occupations. Offered in secondary schools, vocational centers, community colleges, and technical institutes, CTE covers 16 career clusters, including agriculture, business, health, and technology. CTE programs emphasize workplace competencies, hands-on training, and a cooperative approach between secondary and postsecondary education. With a growing demand for skilled workers, CTE helps bridge the gap between education and industry needs.
