Career and technical education Proven to Support Student Success
Career and technical education (CTE) can spark a love of learning and a thirst for knowledge that translates to both career readiness and academic success. Research has shown that taking just one CTE course increases the probability of graduating by 3.2% [i] and that 91% of high-school graduates who earn 2–3 CTE credits enroll in college.[ii]
