Career Focused, Job Ready
Career Technical Education (CTE) prepares high school students for high skill, high demand careers in a competitive, global economy.
Lakeland Community College collaborates with our CTE Partners, employers, and communities to develop and deliver opportunities for students to be Career Focused, Job Ready!
Rigorous educational pathways, beginning as early as seventh grade, can lead to many postsecondary education and career opportunities. While in a CTE program, students can earn college credit from Lakeland Community College, obtain industry recognized credentials, and begin to network in their chosen field with internships, work-based learning experiences and apprenticeships.
Students interested in enrolling in a CTE program should contact their high school counselor.
