Career and Technical Education (CTE) is one of the most powerful strategies. #Arizona has to prepare students for both post-secondary success and meaningful careers. It is not a side program or an alternative track. It is a rigorous, standards-driven system that connects academic learning to real-world application and workforce opportunity. Today, more than 161,000 students across Arizona participate in CTE programs. These students are enrolled in nearly 90 approved programs of study offered across 144 districts and 326 schools statewide. The scope alone reflects its importance. The outcomes prove its power.
