Career and technical education provides multiple pathways for students to become college and career ready, even while still in high school. Strong partnerships between and among PK-12 schools, local businesses, and technical colleges are often an important component of CTE. These partnerships have been used to provide innovative instruction on state-of-the-art equipment, put students' creativity to work for local industry, create pools of local talent in communities, and make learning more relevant and engaging to students. Additionally, many educators in recent years have reinvented CTE, formerly known as vocational education, into a field that rigorously explores real-world applications of academic concepts. More than 90,000 Wisconsin high school students are currently taking career and technical education courses in fields like manufacturing, agriculture, business, family and consumer science, health occupations, marketing, technology and engineering.
