CTE: The Path to Success
In Utah, there are 35 pathways across 13 career clusters. Career and Technical Education (CTE) offers hands-on learning that imparts real-world skills to students, starting from middle schools, junior highs, to high schools. By pursuing CTE Pathways, students can earn certificates and vital training, setting them on the path to future careers and two-year or four-year college degrees.
Concurrent Enrollment for a Brighter Future
At the “Get The Scoop” event, you’ll also discover Concurrent Enrollment opportunities. Utah envisions every student earning college credit while in high school, saving time and money and paving the way for industry licenses or associate degrees. Last year, more than 27,000 high school juniors and seniors earned over 188,000 college-level credit hours in our state.
Join the Fun!
We expect over 3,000 students and family members to attend this yearly event. Attendees will enjoy free ice cream, explore cutting-edge technology, win exciting prizes, and take home memorable projects. Don’t miss this chance to dive into the world of career and technical education in Utah!
