Mission​

​CTEp’s mission is to ensure that all students graduate from high school fully prepared for both College and Career. To accomplish this, we provide a full array of courses that integrate core academics, state-of-the-art technologies and 21st Century skills. As an active member of a variety of vibrant and supportive county-wide collaboratives, CTEp has partnerships with post-secondary institutions and businesses that provide valuable opportunities for students. 

For example, many of the courses satisfy UC and CSU “a-g” entrance requirements, as well as provide opportunities to earn both high school and college credit through articulat​ed courses. In addition, students in several pathways can gain industry certifications and participate in a variety of work-based learning activities. These include internships at local businesses where they can apply academic theory to solve real-world problems, practice team work, and begin to apply soft-skills so vital to their preparation and success in the high wage, high skill careers of the future.
