Ohio ACTE promotes innovative education and supports educators who inspire students of all ages and abilities

 What is Career Technical Education?

It's NOT Your Parents' Vocational School!

Today, many parents of high-school age students remember that going to the vocational school meant you weren't going to college.  That is not true today, as career-technical education students must meet the same academic requirements of all high school students as well as complete additional coursework in their chosen field.

View this video to see how career-technical education incorporates science, technology, engineering and math (STEM):

 

In Ohio, every high school student has the opportunity to enroll in a career-technical education course of study. This means that in addition to the rigorous academic requirements, students take specific classes in their chosen field.  Engineering, healthcare, computer graphics, auto technology and culinary arts are just a few of the 16 career fields in which Ohio high school students can enroll.  This specialized education is delivered through career centers or in the local high schoool, depending on where the student lives in Ohio. Many career-technical programs also offer adult workforce education.
