What is CTE?

• It is
• Coursework that students can pursue in addition
  to the CPS required college prep curriculum
• Relevant training based on industry standards
• Real-world experience such as job shadows,
  internships, and summer jobs
• Access to college credit, industry
  certifications, and high-paying jobs
• Or said differently
• A viable pathway to success in college and careers

• It is not
• Education to Careers
• Where all the lowest-performing students go
