The new face of CTE ... And Health Sciences is right in the middle of it!

Career Technical Education (CTE) provides students of all ages with the academic and technical skills, knowledge and training necessary to succeed in future careers and to become lifelong learners. In total, about 12 million high school and college students are enrolled in CTE across the nation. CTE prepares these learners for the world of work by introducing them to workplace competencies, and makes academic content accessible to students by providing it in a hands-on context. In fact, the high school graduation rate for CTE concentrators is about 90 percent – 15 percentage points higher than the national average.

​Secondary Health Science CTE students can earn professional certifications and/or follow partnerships to postsecondary education at community & technical colleges, four-year universities, and more!

Health Science is one of the 16 Career Clusters in CTE!

​Health Science pathways make up 5 of the 79+ CTE pathways:
   - Therapeutic Services
   - Diagnostic Services
   - Biomedical Research & Design
   - Health Informatics
   - Support Services
