QUESTIONS WHAT IS CAREER AND TECHNICAL
EDUCATION?
Career and Technical Education (CTE) programs offer students the
opportunity to enhance their education with valuable workforce
skills. CTE links what students learn in the classroom with what they
need to succeed in the real world of work.
CAN TECHNICAL SCHOOL STUDENTS
ATTEND COLLEGE IF THEY WISH?
Yes, in fact, experience gained through the CTE can give students
a leg up on their college application since their elective credits
can follow them to college. If they choose to continue in the same
post secondary program of study, they can even qualify for college
credits for their work. For more information on earning college
credit, see our College Opportunities section. Attending a Career
and Technical Education program also helps students form strong
career visions, often expressed in college entrance essays. Each
year, DCTS students earn competitive and merit scholarships
based upon their technical school experiences.

A DAY IN THE LIFE OF A DCTS STUDENT...
Half of each school day is spent in your chosen DCTS program, and half is spent in academic
classes at their high school. Most students take four core academic classes and DCTS is
equivalent to elective credits. In your DCTS lab, much of your time will be spent in hands-
on work experiences. For example, if a student takes Advertising Design & Commercial Art,
the student will spend significant class time creating and designing. If a student is enrolled
in Culinary Arts, the student will be learning in a commercial kitchen environment. The work
students do in their labs will simulate the actual settings found in their chosen career fields.
There is also ample opportunity to get involved in student leadership activities on campus
and in Career and Technical Student Organizations (CTSOs). These organizations offer
direct connections to careers, plus opportunities for leadership, competitions, awards,
and fun! When the day at DCTS is finished, students can also stay involved in activities
at their respective high schools.
