Common Career Technical Core (CCTC)

The Common Career Technical Core (CCTC) is a set of standards developed to ensure that secondary education programs in career and technical fields provide students with essential skills and knowledge. It aims to prepare them for the workforce by establishing consistent expectations across different states and programs. By aligning curriculum with industry needs, the CCTC helps educators develop relevant courses, enabling students to gain the competencies needed for success in specific careers or further education. This initiative supports a more skilled workforce and enhances economic growth by fostering better training and educational opportunities.
