Career and Technical Education and Integrated Education and Training

Career and Technical Education (CTE) programs provide adult learners with hands-on, industry-aligned training that leads to recognized credentials and prepares them for immediate entry into the workforce. Through Integrated Education and Training (IET) models, learners build foundational academic and language skills while simultaneously receiving technical instruction within a specific career pathway.

These programs are designed to meet current labor market demands and include pathways such as healthcare, construction, hospitality, industrial trades, human services, and early childhood education to name a few. By embedding credential preparation into instruction, learners graduate with the skills and certifications needed to obtain employment, earn higher wages, and advance in their chosen field.

CTE programs equip adults with both the knowledge and the qualifications necessary to transition efficiently from education to sustainable employment.
