What is Career and Technical Education?

Career and Technical Education prepares the workforce across a wide range of industries and occupations. Students can earn industry credentials and licenses, obtain postsecondary certifications, secure apprenticeships, and more. CTE could even be the answer to the nation’s projected deficit of 6.5 million skilled workers because CTE high school students are career ready. Check out the helpful infographic from ACTE for even more information.

As educators prepare CTE students for their future careers as skilled professionals, students engage in hands-on learning with real-life applications. This approach to teaching is linked to greater understanding, comprehension, and retention. Career and Technical Education offers a way for students to gain skills and earn credentials in some of the most critical and desirable careers. Unlike traditional higher education, CTE programs set individuals on a successful path in less time with less cost. That means they can get into a career today without the worry of debt tomorrow.

How Can I Get More Involved?

With some key organizations including those listed below, educators can find countless resources to elevate their Career and Technical Education efforts and even advocate for a program in your school or community.
