Career and Technology Education
Career and Technical Education (CTE) instruction aims at developing foundational skills, core workplace competencies, and specific skill competencies in various occupational areas. Internships, practicums, cooperative education, school-based enterprises, dual enrollment programs, and apprenticeships are a few venues that deliver career and technical education by providing meaningful opportunities for learners to apply their academic and technical skills.
AISD CTE Mission Statement:
To provide opportunities for students to acquire 21st century academic and technical skills for entry into the global workforce and/or postsecondary education in order to become contributing members of their community.
