How does Career and Technical Education (CTE) |
| When taught effectively, CTE is a powerful model to transform how students are prepared for the world of work. CTE programs provide a model of instruction that makes sense to students. They provide students with an understanding of the relevance of their CTE education to their future career goals. Forty percent of high school students in Michigan enroll in CTE courses, and 99 percent of those students graduate from high school. Students can apply in 8th grade to start a CTE program in 9th grade (however, each district has its own requirements on the issue). Students enrolled in CTE programs have the opportunity to acquire skills that prepare them for successful career entry, advancement, and/or continuing education. These skills are transferable, as well as job specific, and basic to the students’ general education, providing them with a foundation for life-long learning. |
