Career Technical Education (CTE) programs prepare students with 21st-century skills. CTE is made up of 15 industry sectors, which include 58 career pathways related to all occupations. A career pathway is a sequence of rigorous academic and technical courses that integrate core academic knowledge with technical knowledge, providing students with a pathway to postsecondary education and careers.

CTE programs bring students, teachers, administrators and employers together to strengthen and develop the relationship between what's being taught in the classroom and its application in the workplace. Our CTE services provide support for the variety of CTE delivery systems. CTE classes can be delivered in a variety of ways. Some are stand-alone classes, others are found in California Partnership Academies, Multiple Pathway programs, or Regional Occupational Programs.
