CTE Programs of Study

CTE in Tennessee is designed to equip students with skills, knowledge, and hands-on experience necessary to succeed in postsecondary opportunities, workforce, and military service. Through a combination of classroom instruction, work-based experiences, and leadership opportunities in the Career and Technical Student Organizations (CTSOs), Tennessee’s CTE programs assist students to prepare for their career of choice, earn valuable industry credentials and postsecondary credits, and gain a competitive edge in the growing job market.
