Real-world skills. Real-world experience. Right in your hands.

Why do students love CTE? What do CTE students like about their classes? There are many things - more independence and self-directed learning, more personalized instruction and the chance to combine school with something that really interests you. But usually at the top of the list is hands-on learning. You get to use your hands in conjunction with your brain. While CTE classes definitely incorporate traditional book learning and lectures, students spend a significant amount of time in the labs, out on work placements and competing against students from across the state, applying what they’re learning in a real-world setting..

That’s why students love CTE. That’s why you might, too.
