CTE is on the Rise. Let's shine a light on the accomplishments of the 127,000+ high school students in Ohio who chose to pursue career-technical education at one of 99 career centers. These students are the future workforce, and CTE is crucial for preparing them for a variety of paths - college, career, enlistment and entrepreneurship.
CTE is accessible to all students and offers diverse programs in fields such as agriculture, arts, business, construction, education, engineering, finance, health science, information technology and manufacturing.
CTE students are not just future workers, but leaders, athletes, musicians, performers, artists, valedictorians, salutatorians, philanthropists, employees and entrepreneurs. We can’t wait to share more about why CTE is on the Rise!

Happy Monday, OHP! Make it a great week!
