WHAT IS CTE?

Career and Technical Education (cte) provides ALL students ACCESS TO HIGH-QUAILTY, RIGOROUS CAREER-FOCUSED PROGRAMS THAT RESULT IN ATTAINMENT OF CREDENTIALS WITH LABOR MARKET VALUE

Career and Technical Education at Northridge High provides our students with knowledge and skills in many different pathway content areas, including:

•    Business & Marketing
•    Family & Consumer Science
•    Health Sciences
•    Information Technology
•    Skilled & Technical

Courses combine the academic knowledge and technical skills that are vital for entry into the careers of the 21st century. Many CTE courses also offer Concurrent Enrollment College credit. Career Pathways help students seamlessly transition from high school to college, careers and life. Skills are verified through CTE State Skill Certificate tests or industry tests in each course.

CTE student leadership organizations (CTSOs) combine classroom instruction with leadership training and a practical application of skills. Each organization provides training and competition specific to a CTE program area. Students enrolled in Career & Technical Education courses are encouraged to participate in the student organization that relates to their area of career interest. Each year students participate in region and state competitions. State winners are eligible to attend their national competitions. Student organizations are DECA, FCCLA, FBLA, HOSA, TSA, and EDUCATORS RISING.

WHAT ARE THE ADVANTAGES OF CTE?

CTE students have a higher graduation rate than non-CTE students. The CTE Skill Certificates students earn in their courses give them an edge on their resumes and applications. Check Out These Facts!
