Overview

Career & Technical Education (CTE) programs provide a unique approach to learning by integrating traditional core academic subjects within the context of a career pathway, also called a program of study. Students learn the naturally occurring math, science, English Government, and Economics as related to each career field.

Applying core academic concepts to real-world projects assists students in developing 21st-century skills such as critical thinking, creativity, teamwork, problem-solving, effective communication, and innovation.

Approved CTE programs also meet the New York State Education Department standards for Career Development Occupational Studies and Occupational Studies and Career and Financial Management.
