“The purpose of the [inaugural] Career, Technical and Agricultural Education Demonstration Day was to invite stakeholders into our classrooms to witness the CTAE instructional delivery model in action,” said CTAE Director Dr. Dwionne Freeman. “CTAE classes are unique in that they teach career-related skills through an integration of project-based learning, academic competencies and employability skill development via real-world applications. We hope that as a result of the demonstrations, visitors were able to glean a better understanding of how CTAE programs are meeting industry needs and preparing our students for college, career and life.”
CTAE pathways help students successfully enter the workforce or transition into post-secondary education by providing classes with rigorous academic standards, hands-on projects and labs. These opportunities include, but are not limited to, advanced curriculum, dual enrollment, work-based learning, career awareness, career exposure and employability skill development. Learn more.
