Career & Technical Education
Career & Technical Education is a program of study that involves a multi-year sequence of courses covering technical and occupational knowledge. The goal is to provide learners with a pathway to postsecondary education and/or career. You can think of this as a way for learners to “major” while in high school and focus on elective courses of specific occupational interest. iLEAD Exploration is offering the following career pathways:
- Patient Care
- Entrepreneurship
- Public Service
- Childhood Development
- Performing Arts
- Game Design
- Animation
- Photography
To complete a CTE Pathway, learners need to choose a pathway, identify a career within that pathway, and then complete a two-year sequence of courses. Talk with your EF about adding a CTE pathway to your courses for this school year.
Don’t see a career of interest above? That’s okay! There are many CTE opportunities available through your local community college. These programs offer state-of-the art equipment and accredited certificates that can lead directly to a career. As a bonus, you can also earn college units while working towards your career of interest! A simple search for CTE + the college name will bring up a listing of all their CTE pathways. If you are interested, contact the Strong Workforce Counselor at your local community college.
For more information or assistance, view our CTE informational video and PowerPoint (also located here on the Hub) or reach out to us directly at cte@ileadexploration.org.
