Ways Career & Technical Education Benefits Students

Career and Technical Education (CTE) is highly recommendable for college and high school students. Complex knowledge and skillset is the requirement of a flourishing economy beaming with technological advancement. So, acquiring technical skills and knowledge boosts success in the modern industrial scenario and a broad range of other fields. CTE courses make students ready for both college and career as CTE emphasizes on academic as well as career training.

Following are some ways in which students can greatly benefit from career & technical education:
  • Affordability And Scope Of Work: CTE courses are affordable and when coupled with an academic degree, they expand the scope of work for students. It is interesting to note that the modern day companies seek skilled employees equipped with technical knowledge instead of candidates with academic qualification only. CTE students are on a better footing for high pay jobs.
  • Diverse Opportunities: Career and Technical Education courses provide students with heaps of opportunities. Students equipped with practical training and knowledge imparted by CTE courses are capable of doing collegiate-level work, full-time jobs, exploring different career opportunities and more. CTE programs provide a myriad of pathways for students to progress like diploma and apprenticeship programs, industrial certifications, 4-year degree programs or technical degrees in college, to mention a few.
  • Integration Of Technical And Academic Knowledge: The innovative instructional strategies used in CTE are very effective at improving the understanding of academic concepts and technical knowledge. They augment and enhance the core content knowledge of students, making them more efficient at solving problems.
  • Better Academic Performance: CTE students have been shown to perform well in other subjects too.  In fact, they are more likely to complete graduation, enroll in college, get employed and earn high wages as compared to their non-CTE counterparts. Students who enroll into both academic and CTE programs exhibit better performance at reading, science and mathematics.
  • Development Of Employability Skills: CTE courses help students develop valuable employment skills such as critical thinking, teamwork, innovation, communication skills, collaboration etc. During the course of a CTE program, they are exposed to different work types and a variety of workplaces. This polishes them for a wide range of careers. They are no longer limited to entry-level jobs after CTE courses but are in fact ready for lucrative and rewarding jobs.
  • Self-Reliance: CTE students are confident and self-reliant. They are well-prepared for the future and are in a better position to get job experiences that will help them chalk out a career path, choose a course of study and even pay for tuition.
