Welcome to Career and Technical Education (CTE) Homepage!
Career and Technical Education (CTE) holds a critical position in preparing individuals for success in the workforce. This education program is responsible for creating a curriculum that merges technical and professional skills with academic foundation. CTE is committed to ensuring that students are equipped with the necessary skills and knowledge to excel in their chosen careers, respond to the demands of the workforce and contribute positively to their communities.
In formal education, CTE is tasked with developing, executing, and managing standards, benchmarks, and guidelines that align with the workforce requirements of the FSM. This involves close collaboration with industry partners, educators, and employers to maintain the relevancy and currency of the curriculum.
In non-formal education, CTE organizes and manages programs aimed at equipping unemployed youth and adults with in-demand job skills. These programs provide individuals with the chance to enter or re-enter the job market with a competitive advantage.
In essence, CTE plays a pivotal role in developing individuals’ skills and knowledge to meet the demands of the workforce. Through its focus on relevant and comprehensive education, CTE empowers individuals to achieve success in their careers and make meaningful contributions to their communities.
