This Regional Educational Laboratory (REL) Midwest video explains how career and technical education (CTE) classes can allow high school students to prepare for specialized jobs as well as two- or four-year degrees. CTE classes cover a wide range of fields, such as agriculture, computer coding, and manufacturing. Concentrating in a specific field of CTE classes in high school can have a positive impact on a student's employability and earning potential. Students who are interested in CTE can ask their school counselors for more information.
