CTE gives purpose to learning by emphasizing real-world skills and practical knowledge.
These tools and experiences make school more relevant, and ensure students are ready for the real world.
Whether students plan to further their education in community colleges, technical schools, four-year colleges and universities, receive on-the-job training, or pursue careers in the military, CTE can be the first step in a pathway toward productive employment and citizenship.

Real options for students for college and rewarding careers
- CTE programs allow students to explore a range of options for their future - inside and outside of the classroom.
- Through CTE, students can start their path toward a career that they are passionate about, while earning valuable experience, college credits and more.
- CTE students are more likely to have a post-high school plan - including college - than other students; just 2% of CTE students say they "don't know" what they will do after high school.
Real-world skills for students
- CTE is a unique opportunity for hands on learning - putting students at the center of the action.
- CTE provides the skills and confidence students need to pursue career options, discover their passions and get on a path to success.
- Students in CTE programs and their parents are three times as likely to report they are "very satisfied" with their and their children's ability to learn real-world skills as part of their current education compared to parents and students not involved in CTE.
