Career and Technical Education (CTE) courses offer rigorous instruction exposing students to a wide range of high-wage, high-demand careers while learning course-specific content and transferable skills. 

Many CTE courses also offer access to Industry Recognized Credentials (IRCs) that help students get ahead in jobs now and/or college credit at the same time they are earning high school credit, known as Dual Credit.
