Career and Technical Education (CTE) is a planned program of courses and learning experiences that challenge students to develop academic, technical, and personal skills through relevant integrated learning experiences. CTE provides students with the academic and technical skills, knowledge and training necessary for a wide range of high wage, high skill, high-demand careers. In Mukilteo, we offer CTE courses at all 4 of our middle schools and each of our 3 high schools. Our school district has over 50 approved CTE courses that we offer to our students. CTE classrooms are equipped with state of the art technology and equipment to provide our students with an experience that is similar to what they would have in a specific industry. CTE classes allow our students to discover their interests and set them up for a successful transition after high school!
All of our teachers are part of advisory councils that consist of industry and post-secondary partners. Advisory councils provide input and guidance to keep our classes and programs relevant to the ever changing labor force.
In addition to the academic and technical skills learned, CTE classes offer additional opportunities for our students beyond basic education courses:
Not only does CTE provide a great education in its own right, but it also acts as a stepping stone to the next stage in a student's path to post-secondary options. For our students, that means more open doors and opportunities after high school. For our society, that means a more skilled and experienced workforce.
We are proud to offer a plethora of CTE experiences to our students in Mukilteo. I encourage you to explore our website to dive deeper into what CTE provides.
