Our Career and Technology Education (CTE) courses are designed to prepare students for college and careers in fields like computer technology, digital video, and engineering. Through hands-on projects and best practices, students gain valuable experience with cutting-edge technologies, setting a solid foundation for both career-bound and college-ready paths.

Real-World Skills and Certifications
Many CTE courses offer opportunities for students to earn industry certifications, gain college credit through AP exams, or participate in internships with local companies. These certifications validate students’ skills and help employers trust in their technical knowledge and readiness for the workforce.

Available certifications include:

• Engineering Design – Fusion 360

• Information Technology – HTML & CSS certification through AIT

• Digital Video Design & Production – Adobe Premiere Pro and AfterEffects

• Computer Fundamentals – CompTIA Fundamentals+

Each course that provides a certification is taught by an instructor certified in that area. As new certifications become available at the district or state level, additional options may be offered.

Through our CTE programs, students acquire skills that open doors to future educational and career opportunities, making them competitive candidates in today’s technology-driven world.
