Career Technical Education
Career Technical Education
Rigorous and relevant career and technical education (CTE) pathways prepare students for a wide range of high-wage, high-skill, high-demand careers.
CTE programs prompt students to work independently and as part of a team, think creatively, solve problems, and utilize technology, and partnerships with local businesses and industry help CTE provide students with hands-on experience in desired fields.
At Carlsbad High, CTE pathways help students turn their passion into a paycheck.
