The goal of Career and Technical Education (CTE) is to prepare all students for successful roles as workers, family members, citizens, and lifelong learners. To achieve this goal, this document identifies basic elements that are expected within all CTE programs. These elements are the basis for any instructional program to be approved for state vocational funding. Assurances submitted, as part of the district's application for state/federal funds for CTE will apply to the new course or program. CTE instructional equipments, facilities, and instructional delivery used in the program are comparable to those used in the workplace and in the home.
