OVERVIEW

|
| |
Career and Technical Education (CTE) programs play a central role in the goals of State Board and Department to improving students' secondary education experiences. The CTE team works with secondary schools and regional career centers to help students identify and pursue their career and life goals. CTE programs provide unique opportunities for students by offering career development and academic courses and work-based learning opportunities in challenging fields of study.
Secondary, postsecondary and adult technical education courses are provided through career centers, comprehensive high schools and colleges. The state is required by 16 V.S.A. § 1531 to oversee career and technical education, to ensure that it is coordinated with academic education, to make it accessible to adult and high school students and to coordinate activities and programs with workforce development efforts. The Department meets these responsibilities and supports continuous improvement in technical education by:
- Establishing high learning standards that incorporate academic and occupational competencies with 21st Century skill standards;
- Developing student assessments validate student learning to provide smooth transitions to careers and college;
- Developing and upgrading programs to provide students with skills leading to high skill, high wage and high demand careers;
- Providing professional development for faculty to stay current with new approaches to instructional strategies, technological developments in business and industry; and
- Developing collaborative relationships between educators, business/industry stakeholders, students and community members.
