Career Technical Education (CTE)

Career Technical Education (CTE) provides students with the technical skills, knowledge, and training needed to be successful in future careers. Millions of high school students are enrolled in career technical courses nationwide as the need for skilled labor continues to grow. CTE prepares learners for the world of work by introducing them to workplace competencies, and makes academic content accessible to students by providing it in a hands-on context. 
YouthBuild currently offers three CTE tracks for student's, Construction, Health Care, Customer Service, and Information Technology (IT) each providing students the opportunity to earn an industry recognized credential.
