What is CTE?
-
"Career and Technical Education (CTE) is an educational model that aligns secondary and postsecondary education to labor market demand, and provides students with the technical, academic, and employability knowledge and skills they need for success. Put simply, CTE prepares students for careers of their choice. "

"The new CTE system is not a separate 'track' limited to students without postsecondary aspirations. Rather, the vision is for all students, whatever their current abilities or age, to develop personal learning and career plans that allow for exploration, investigation and choices and that provide a pathway to a career. . . . all students-whatever their ultimate career goals-have the employability skills that are necessary for success in life as well as employment. (Alaska CTE Plan, page 9)
"CTE today is NOT old-school "vocational education" by another name. While it is built on a similar ideological foundation - that students need to be equipped with skills that enable them to succeed in their careers - the design and delivery has changed radically as our economy has evolved.
