Utica Community Schools
Career
& Technical Education
UCS offers Career and Technical Education
(CTE) programs at all four of our district high schools as well as the Instructional
Resource Center. These programs are designed to prepare students for a broad
range of employment opportunities and continuing education. Follow-up studies continue to find that the
most successful high school graduates were those who took a college-prep
program and a Career Technical Education program of study. CTE programs are
staffed by teachers with related business and industry experience that enhances
the learning process with real-world relevance.
CTE programs are offered in these areas:

Some
CTE programs are taught at one high school only, but programs are available to
students at all high schools. A
complete program of study in a CTE area usually involves a sequence (or
multiple) of courses. Advanced courses
often have the preceding course as a prerequisite. For these reasons, students should plan
early to include CTE as part of their high school experience.
