Idaho’s Career and Technical Education (CTE) programs are proving that’s a false choice. In fact, they’re showing that students can graduate with the skills, credentials, and confidence to succeed in both college and career. Across our state, CTE programs are thriving—in agriculture, health sciences, information technology, welding, business, engineering, and more. Idaho students who complete CTE pathways have higher graduation rates than the state average—often exceeding 95%. After high school, many CTE students step into the workforce with a head start or to continue their postsecondary education with a clearer sense of purpose.
