StartUp CTE Programs A Guide to Predesigned CTE

Start-Up CTE Programs A Guide to Pre-designed CTE Programs of Study March 15, 2018

Welcome to Career and Technical Education – CTE We are excited that you have decided to explore how to start a CTE Program in your school or district. Under the High School Graduation and College and Career Readiness Act of 2016, direct funding will be provided to Oregon school districts to increase high school graduation rates. Measure 98 identifies three specific areas: 1. Establish or expand career and technical education programs in high schools, 2. Establish or expand college-level educational opportunities for students in high schools, and 3. Establish or expand dropout-prevention strategies in high schools.
