NATIONAL CAREER AND TECHNICAL EDUCATION MONTH
What is career and technical education?
CTE students earn industry certifications and licenses, postsecondary certificates,
associate degrees, bachelor’s degrees, and higher.
92% of high school students and 69% of college and adult students are engaged in CTE, learning skills in the classroom and on the job.
CTE is good for students, good for businesses, and good for communities.
CTE high school students are college and career-ready: 94% graduate high school, and most enroll directly in college.
CTE is the answer to the nation’s projected deficit of 6.5 million skilled workers, including infrastructure, health care and manufacturing workforce shortages.
On Friday, January 26, 2024, three leopards were spotted at Lafayette Elementary School.
