CTE is sometimes misunderstood as formerly vocational education (Votech) of the past. Today's CTE is much more robust and rigorous, no longer limited to non-college bound high school students or those interested in trade skills only. CTE has a greater focus on academics and job market relevance. In fact, CTE is considered a bridge to college. Since CTE students are prepared prior to graduating from high school with a plan that includes an EDP, apprecticeship, paid/or non-paid internship, employability, or a post-secondary institution. CTE continues to impart student learning experiences that can assist in the college admissions process, demonstration of mastery skills through internships, college credits, or certifications.
