Career life

Career & Technical Education (CTE) courses create project & problem-based learning environments to provide students with the skills necessary to become both college & career & college ready. Skills such as critical thinking, creative problem-solving, innovation, and collaboration are embedded into all courses. Students can explore a variety of pathways through our courses that have equipment found in the industry they are exploring & connect students to the community for mentorship.

The courses are broken into three categories:

These three categories allow students to explore their passions or advance their desires in post-secondary plans.

The Career and Technical Education Department:

  • Provides a setting to apply core subject matter

  • Heightens awareness of in-demand careers

  • Prepares students for further certification and degrees

  • Orientates students to the Lake County Technology Campus

  • Many courses offer early college credit

All courses in this area fulfill the one-half applied arts credit for graduation.
