  unchallenging courses and puts them on the
  college track.

26
Why is it important for students to view these
CTE programs before high school?

• Students more than ever are coming to high school
  equipped with information about what career area
  they will likely go into (thanks to the KUDER
  assessments that they are completing in 7th 8th
  grade).
• Being able to explore their career clusters while
  still in high school is very important for
  todays student.
• (For example, students that indicate strong
  interest (or aptitude) in health sciences, may
  choose to start taking some Health Sciences
  classes in high school. This might allow them
  to pinpoint a specific medical profession and
  will drastically increase the chance of them
  going on to college to complete a program or
  learn a trade/skill in the field.)
