California Career Technical Education

California Career Technical Education (CTE) is a program designed to prepare students for the workforce by providing them with hands-on training in various career fields. It focuses on practical skills in areas such as healthcare, technology, agriculture, and the arts. CTE combines academic learning with vocational training, helping students gain real-world experience and industry-specific knowledge. This approach not only equips students with the skills needed for specific jobs but also enhances their employability and fosters a smoother transition from school to careers or further education. Ultimately, CTE aims to meet the needs of both students and employers in California.
