Texas CTE is an education initiative designed to prepare all students for a lifetime of success. It is a system designed to help students make wise education choices based on the belief that the curricula of the 21st century should combine rigorous academics with relevant career education. When schools integrate academic and technical education, students can see the 鈥渦sefulness鈥 of what they are learning.
The initiative uses sixteen federally defined career clusters as the foundation for structuring the arrangement of instructional programs. A career cluster is a group of occupations and industries based on commonalities. Career pathway models showing a recommended sequence of coursework based on a student鈥檚 interest or career goal can be found at .
91制片厂 Career and Technical Education has implemented many programs of study within the 16 federally defined career clusters. Students may choose courses from one or several of the clusters during high school; however, concentrated study in one area gives students the advantage of developing higher-level workplace skills and knowledge for a particular career field.
