February is CTE Month

Throughout February, students and teachers will join across the country to celebrate Career and Technical Education (CTE) Month™.  CTE encompasses 94% of high school students and 13 million post-secondary students in the United States.  CTE makes students college and career ready and prepares them for high-wage and high-demand careers.

CTE is a major part of the solution to a myriad of national economic and workforce problems, such as high school dropout rates, a weakened economy, global competitiveness and massive layoffs.  At a time when opportunity for employment is so critical, CTE programs in every community are ensuring students are equipped with the skills to successfully enter the workforce.
