Career and Technical Education
Career & technical education (CTE) provides relevant career training through Idaho’s public schools, online through CTE Digital, and at Idaho’s six technical colleges. Every CTE program or class is aligned with careers available here in Idaho.
When you enroll in a CTE course you learn by doing, and gain real-world skills that your future employers need.
