What is CTE?
Today’s cutting-edge, rigorous and relevant career and technical education (CTE) prepares youth and adults for a wide range of high-wage, high skill, high demand careers. In it’s most recent study, The National Center for Educational Statistics showed that CTE encompasses nearly 94 percent of high school students and over 12 million postsecondary students. These numbers included high schools, career centers, community and technical colleges, four-year universities and more.
