VIDEO - Career and Technical Education (CTE)
YouTube video (closed captioned)
Career and technical education (CTE) provides multiple pathways for students to become college and career ready, even while in high school. Strong partnerships between PK-12 schools, local businesses, and technical colleges are often an important component of CTE. These partnerships have been used to provide innovative instruction on state of the art equipment, put students’ creativity to work for local industry, create pools of local talent in communities, and make learning relevant and engaging to students. Many educators have reinvented CTE into a field that rigorously explores real-world applications of academic concepts.
More than 90,000 Wisconsin high school students are currently taking career and technical education courses in fields like manufacturing, agriculture, business, family and consumer science, health occupations, marketing, technology and engineering.
