To be successful in today’s competitive workforce, our CTE faculty and programs are continuously responding to industry and community needs so that our students are job-ready with strong technical and professional skills. Students can often earn industry-recognized credentials (IRCs) while completing these rigorous programs, increasing their marketability to potential employers.

After completion, students can enter directly into the workforce or choose to transfer to continue their educational journey. Whether you are discovering or fulfilling your passion, reskilling, or upskilling, CTE is for you!

Our diverse selection of CTE programs span across all academic divisions including Business, Agriculture, Career Technical Education (BACTE), and are available within many interest areas.
