CTE programming prepares students with rigorous coursework, oftentimes allowing students to work, earn income, accumulate industry certifications and credentials, and receive college credit within the same academic year. #CTEMonth ACTE

81% of high school dropouts say relevant, real-world learning opportunities, like CTE, would have kept them in school. At CATEC, 100% of our students have work-based learning opportunities, taught by industry experts. #CTEMonth ACTE

Youth Registered Apprenticeships & Registered Apprenticeships give students opportunities to get HS credit, work experience, & income, all while building professional relationships. Registered apprentices earn 2,000 hours of on-the-job training. #CTEMonth ACTE

This is wrong. I know the value of community college and state schools (I went to one) but not wanting to help those who attended private college is a backhanded way of saying only rich kids should attend those schools. That’s just going to further the gap between rich and poor
