CTE Internship

Career and Technical Education (CTE) programs provide students with a foundation for a wide range of careers that reflect the contemporary workplace.

College and Career Readiness
CTE programs provide quality work-based learning programs, relevant academic skills, and workforce behaviors necessary for success.

Academic & Technical Skills
CTE programs promote life-long learning in a global society.

Work-Based Learning
CTE programs strengthen business and education partnerships to provide students with opportunities that reinforce skills and behaviors for the workforce.

Through the Academic and Career Planning (ACP) process, students participate in a variety of career-based learning experiences (CBLEs) that involve direct employer engagement. The engagement between employers and students may be short, as with classroom speakers, or may be in-depth, as with Youth Apprenticeship, but all CBLEs include participation from an employer or industry partner and are generally school-supervised.
