Career & Technical Education (CTE)
What is Career and Technical Education (CTE)?
The DSD vision for CTE is to prepare students for post-secondary training, successful careers, and enriched lives, by ensuring that all students acquire the essential knowledge, skills and dispositions in each CTE course.
Davis School District (DSD) believes that through competency-based instruction, hands-on experiences, and work-based learning opportunities, Career and Technical Education (CTE) provides students with the structured training and the necessary tools to be successful in a career after high school and/or further his or her postsecondary education, whether at a technical school, or a two-or four-year college. Each student is encouraged to explore various areas of study and to develop the competencies that are necessary to enter today’s competitive job market with confidence.
