In Michigan, Career and Technical Education (CTE) operates by combining academic learning with practical technical skills through a comprehensive curriculum. This includes classroom teaching, laboratory work, experiential learning in the workplace, and opportunities for student leadership. The primary objective is to equip students for further education and careers in their selected fields, with a significant focus on real-world applications and collaborations with industry to maintain alignment with contemporary job market demands.
The evidence supporting the positive impact of CTE programs on both students and the workforce is substantial. These programs equip students with essential workforce development skills and contribute to the transformation of communities by fostering a strong workforce.
