Career and Technical Education (CTE) is an educational approach to teaching technical skills that lead to careers for middle, high, and post secondary students. Compared to vocational education which is only taught in post secondary scenarios and is very specific to one career track. CTE can be broad in range from medical, business, sales, finance, IT, STEM, manufacturing, logistics, political science, government, law, agriculture, construction, trades, craftsman, culinary, creative arts, music, to audiovisual technology.[1] The Federal Government of the Unite States has invested $1.462 billion in 2023[2] and States have invested billions[3] to renovate classrooms, spaces, and build dedicated buildings for the equipment, supplies, tools, software, and hardware to accommodate CTE.[4][5]
