The Career Technical Education (CTE) Program offers students a variety of short-term certificate programs and single course options designed to prepare students for a high-demand career and/or advance current work skills. CTE Program courses combine academic knowledge with technical and occupational skills to provide students with pathways to long-term careers and success. Our CTE Program instructors are leaders in their fields with extensive practical experience to share with students.
