Career and Technical Education

High Schools with Career and Technical Education (CTE) programs integrate rigorous academic study with workforce skills in specific career pathways. Students participate in programs that meet business and industry standards. Students receive instruction in an industry-related area and have the opportunity to graduate high school with industry-specific competencies and skills that lead to postsecondary education, further industry training and/or entry into the workforce.

Currently, over 100 schools offer more than 320 CTE program pathways. Thirty designated “CTE schools” enroll approximately 30,000 of these students; the remainder attend comprehensive high schools around the city including small schools, specialized high schools, and schools with small learning communities.
