The Career and Technical Education (CTE) Unit, in the Division
of Curriculum, provides direction and leadership to the CTE
programs throughout Texas. Unit staff assists districts statewide
with implementation of the Texas Essential Knowledge and Skills
(TEKS) for CTE; collaborates with various professional organizations
regarding CTE programs; and assists the Textbook Division in
overseeing the textbook adoption process for CTE instructional
materials. The CTE Unit also provides on-going communication
with the field related to the curriculum and graduation requirements
in TAC Chapter 74.
Career and technical programs are dedicated to preparing
young people to manage the dual roles of family member and
wage earner. Career and technical programs enable students
to gain entry-level employment in a high-skill, high-wage
job and/or to continue their education.
