- Provide high-demand and high-interest CTE options through a robust catalog
- Unlock Perkins V funding with rigorous, standards-aligned content
Spark interest early
Even at the middle school level, career and technical education is an important part of providing opportunities for success in school and life. Early exploration gives students more time to actively learn about and prepare for high-quality programs in high school. Our CTE offerings feature a customizable library for exploration and foundational skill building.
Create depth in learning
Attendance in a CTE program more than doubles the rate of college-entrance and career-readiness goals. CTE concentrations, dual-credit opportunities, and early college high schools are broadening opportunities for high school students. Our catalog features intentional depth in high-demand and high-interest clusters that enhance work-based learning programs.
Accelerate employability
The U.S. is facing a projected deficit of more than 6.5 million highly skilled workers by 2030. Intentionally preparing students by expanding their opportunities can close this deficit. Our complete catalog offers courses to help learners explore career themes, learn technical skills, and develop soft skills to accelerate employability, while they earn a high school diploma.
