WHAT IS CTE?

Career and Technical Education (CTE) at Layton High provides our students with knowledge and skills in many different content areas including:

• Agricultural
• Business & Marketing
• Family and Consumer Science
• Health Sciences
• Information Technology
• Skilled and Technical  
• Technology and Engineering

These seven content areas are divided up into 13 Career Cluster Areas with relating Career Pathways.  CTE Courses combine the academic knowledge and technical skills that are vital for entry into the careers of the 21st century and help students to seamlessly transition from high school to college to careers and life. Skills are verified through CTE State Skill Certificate tests or industry tests in each course. Many CTE courses also offer Concurrent Enrollment College credit.

WHAT ARE THE ADVANTAGES OF CTE?

CTE students have a higher graduation rate than non-CTE students. The CTE Skill Certificates students earn in their courses give them an edge on their resumes and applications.
