Career and Technical Education (CTE) programs in Illinois
provide instruction for careers in high-wage, high-skill, and high-demand
occupations in Agricultural Education; Business, Marketing and Computer
Education; Family and Consumer Sciences; Health Science Technology; and
Technology and Engineering Education (Industrial). CTE programs continue
to strengthen students’ technical skills; articulate transitions to
postsecondary programs, employment or both; assist in meeting the Illinois
Learning Standards; and close achievement gaps. These programs are instrumental
in supporting local districts to ensure student success and promoting
continuous improvement.
