Whether you are looking to enter the workforce or continue your education through college, our CTE programs will give you the tools needed to reach your potential. Programs are available locally for both high school and adult students in a variety of fields.

Our instructors are more than just teachers. They are passionate about their field and their desire to pass their knowledge on to others. All of our instructors have spent years in the careers that they are teaching. Students in CTE programs build a lasting relationship with their instructors, who advise them on the many career options that are available to them.

Courses are offered in fields and industry of high demand and employability. Many of our students go on to find work locally.Industry representatives serve on advisory committees which are consulted on a regular basis to make sure each program meets the highest standards.
