The Department of Academies and Career & Technical Education provides leadership and support to teachers in the advanced career and technical education (CTE) fields. CTE prepares students for postsecondary education and training for in-demand, high-skill, and high-wage careers. Beginning in 6th grade, students can engage in CTE programs designed to combine relevance, rigor, and real-world, hands-on learning with academic knowledge. The department is home to both the Office of Academies and Career and Technical Education and the Office of Artificial Intelligence and Computer Science.
Career Clusters and Pathways
Career clusters allow students to choose a career area of interest in high school. Students are enrolled in classes tailored to the career cluster (see list below), which helps them navigate their way to greater lifetime success. Multiple career pathways make up each career cluster (i.e. STEM’s pathways are engineering, drafting and design, and electronics). Students begin to learn about careers in elementary and middle school, so they are ready to choose a pathway upon reaching high school.
