By participating in Career & Technical Education (CTE) classes while in high school, eligible students can connect with meaningful opportunities for their future. For some, that may mean college; your child can earn college credit while still in high school. For others, they can build a foundation of skills for well-paying jobs and careers. Whatever your child’s path, eligible high school students and their families can potentially save hundreds to thousands of dollars in tuition and other educational expenses by enrolling in CTE classes.
Students who earn college credit are more likely to graduate high school, enroll in college, and complete a college degree.
