Career and Technical Education/Standards
Career and technical education can provide a foundation of skills that enables high school graduates to be gainfully employed - either full-time or while in college. Nearly two-thirds of all high school graduates of career and technical programs enter some form of postsecondary program. Rigorous academic content tied to technical subject matter ensures that these students will be ready for college. In some cases, students are able to earn college credits for coursework completed while in high school.
