Career technical education (CTE) helps learners explore careers, earn credentials and college credit, build workplace skills and gain real-world experience.
Explore what’s possible
CTE gives you hands-on opportunities to explore careers, build skills and prepare for what comes next. You can discover what interests you, learn what employers expect and gain experience before you graduate.
How to get started
- If you’re in middle or high school, talk with your school counselor about the CTE programs available at your school or find a program near you. Ask about career pathways, certifications, college credit and work-based learning opportunities.
- If you’ve finished high school, explore certificate and degree programs at Idaho’s technical colleges.
- If you’re returning to education or changing careers, explore Adult Education, Centers for New Directions and Workforce Training Centers.
- If you don’t have a high school diploma, Adult Education can help you prepare for the GED®.
