Career Technical Education (CTE) programs provide our students the opportunity to explore careers, engage with employers, and develop the skills needed to succeed in our economy.

CTE students take a sequence of courses aligned to an industry sector and taught by teachers with work experience. These courses follow the California model curriculum standards and feature hands on, industry driven curriculum and work based learning that allow students to explore possible careers and apply real world skills relevant to the labor market. Students can earn industry recognized certifications, early college credit, internships and more.
