Career and Technical Education, or CTE, is education that directly prepares students for high-wage, high-demand careers. CTE covers many different fields, including health care, information technology, advanced manufacturing, hospitality and business/management and many more, as described in Association for Career and Technical Education’s website.

Career and Technical Education encompasses many different types of education, from classroom learning to certification programs to work-based learning opportunities outside the classroom. Our Career and Technical Education programs provide hands-on, real-world experience to help you successfully navigate the transition from college to career. Today’s job market is more competitive than ever before. In honor of National CTE Month, take some time to learn about the many opportunities available at Central Piedmont.
