What is Career and Technical Education (CTE)?

Are you looking for a different approach to your education? Are you looking for real-world hands-on experience in a particular career? If you answered yes, then CTE is for you. It’s YOUR education; learn the way you want to!

Pinkerton CTE takes learning beyond the classroom, offering students both academic and career-oriented courses that provide various opportunities to gain work experience through internships, job shadowing and on-the-job training.  This hands-on approach to learning gives students the opportunity to earn industry credentials and college credits while they explore their interest, talents and ambitions in a dynamic and interactive setting.

Pinkerton CTE programs integrate rigorous academic instruction into the teaching of technical and employability skills. These programs are designed to help students jumpstart their college and career plans by teaching them how to take a more strategic approach to their high school education. Make your education work for you at Pinkerton CTE.
