CTE is part of school improvement efforts (college and career readiness, STEM, early college credit, industry certification...)
21st Century CTE
• Today’s CTE prepares students for both college and careers through rigorous programs of study.
• The focus has moved from preparing students with trade specific skills to preparing them with academic and technical knowledge to be successful in a wide range of career opportunities (and advanced education and training).
• Increased accountability supports CTE program improvement with an emphasis on academic and technical skill attainment (industry certification) – College and Career Readiness
