**What is Career and Technical Education (CTE)?**

Career and Technical Education (CTE) is a program designed to meet the high-skill, high-wage demands of employers. Approximately 94% of high school students are involved in CTE programs, along with millions of students in postsecondary education.

CTE is offered across various educational platforms, including high schools, career centers, community colleges, technical colleges, and four-year universities. The curriculum integrates academics with practical training, making it both rigorous and relevant to real-world job demands.
