Its appropriate in the middle of CTE Month to review current data about Career and Technical Education in Florida we stand in CTE in Florida. Much information can be found at the Federal Department of Education website, and you see many references to that site below. Not only is individual state data available for enrollment, graduates, programs, etc., but also national data and trends over the past years. CTE is an important part of our education system that begins to prepare students for employment in all career clusters. CTE programs blend academics with technical skills in problem- and project-based programs where students cannot only study about careers but practice the hands-on skills that various career clusters require.
CTE DELIVERY: In the middle of CTE month, is a good time. At the secondary level, CTE programs in Florida are offered through comprehensive high schools, many of which include (1) career academies. (Career academies are small, personalized learning communities within a high school that provides students with exposure to a career field.); (2) technical colleges/centers, which are CTE schools that serve an entire school district and provide high school students and adult learners with supplementary career training; and (3) University Developmental Research Schools.
At the postsecondary level, CTE is offered through (1) Florida’s technical colleges/centers, which prepare students for industry certification and licensure, award career certificates and articulated college credit, and support a majority of Florida’s registered apprentices; (2) state and community colleges; and (3) public and private state universities.
STUDENTS: In the school year 2015-2016, according to the U.S. Department of Education, Florida served 324,750 CTE high school students, 106,993 CTE postsecondary students, and 46,489 CTE adult students.
