Academic Credits

 

Overview

Career & Technical Education (CTE) programs provide a unique approach to learning by integrating traditional core academic subjects within the context of a career pathway, also called a program of study. Students learn the naturally occurring math, science, English and Government and Economics as related to each career field.

Applying core academic concepts to real-world projects assists students in developing 21st Century skills such as critical thinking, creativity, teamwork, problem solving, effective communication and innovation.
