Career and Technical Education (CTE)
The Career and Technical Education Department takes students from WHAT NOW? to KNOW HOW! The Chicago Public Schools Career and Technical Education (CTE) program is not “vocational education” anymore. It is a sophisticated and effective combination of a rigorous college-prep high school academic curriculum and hands-on training in career and technical subjects and workplace competencies. Students graduate with skills matched to employer needs and the knowledge to succeed in college or other postsecondary education, advanced career training or immediate entry into jobs with a meaningful career path.

CTE programs combine a rigorous high school academic curriculum with training in career and technical subjects and workplace competencies. CTE impacts over 55,000 students in 73 high schools and 11 career academies throughout the city.
