CTE Month in Citrus Schools

Let’s celebrate CTE Month and the valuable education it provides!

February is here, and it’s time to celebrate Career and Technical Education (CTE) Month! CTE, sometimes referred to as Workforce Education or Vocational Classes, has been a crucial aspect of education for years. Today, it is more relevant than ever, as students are being prepared for the workforce and the future job market.

Citrus Schools remains steadfast in providing high-quality education and preparing students for successful futures through rigorous Career & Technical Education academies and opportunities. With over 155 CTE courses covering 70 industry certifications, students connect to over 38 different Programs of Study Pathways that connect to various industries. These programs include the Academy of Computers at CHS, the Academy of Health Careers at CRHS, the CHS Construction Academy, and in-school academies in agriculture, culinary, drafting, business, and more. These programs are designed to give students hands-on, practical experience in various fields, allowing them to make informed decisions about their future careers. If you’d like to learn more about some of these programs and academies, including watching some videos on the programs, please visit https://www.citrusschools.org/schools/academies_of_citrus_county.

In addition, through strategic partnerships with Withlacoochee Technical College and the College of Central Florida, students have access to additional CTE dual enrollment opportunities. Some of these opportunities even allow students to earn college credits while still in high school, providing them with a head start on their college education in a field they may plan to work in.

As we celebrate CTE Month, it is important to remember the significance of providing students with the skills and knowledge they need to succeed in the workforce. Citrus Schools’ wide range of programs and dual enrollment opportunities are preparing students for success in their future careers and the workforce. So, let’s celebrate CTE Month and the valuable education it provides!
