Career and Technical Education Programs

Career and Technical Education programs are Certificate or Associate of Applied Science degree awards  designed to prepare individuals for a career. These programs are established with the assistance and cooperation of representatives from local business, to meet local and regional employment needs.

In addition to classroom instruction, most programs provide external learning experiences. These experiences are based on meeting competency-based learning objectives at a work site to enhance classroom lecture and laboratory instruction. See External Learning Experiences for Career and Technical Education Programs .

A Guarantee for Job Competency  is provided to all students who earn a Certificate or an Associate of Applied Science degree.
