There’s a common misconception that Career and Technical Education (CTE) students have chosen career over college and that simply is not the case. In fact, nearly half of career and technical education students go on to college.

That’s because CTE simultaneously prepares you to meet both the skills and expectations necessary for the workplace and the demands of postsecondary education. Whether you choose to go straight to work or straight to working on your degree, CTE provides a strong technical and academic foundation that will serve you well along the way on whatever road you choose.
