Career & Technical Education Overview 
Students have the opportunity to acquire skills that prepare them for successful career entry, advancement, and/or continuing education. These skills should be transferable as well as job-specific, and basic to their general education, providing them with the foundation for life-long learning.

Career & Technical Student Organizations
A career and technical student organization is an integral part of a high quality Career and Technical Education program. All programs are encouraged to operate CTSOs as an intracurricular component. For more information about individual CTSOs, contact the local school districts' Career Technical Education director.

Cooperative Education Programs
Cooperative Education is a learning strategy used in Career and Technical Education (CTE) programs. When used in CTE programs, cooperative education focuses on the planned development of occupational competence using employment in real jobs as a source of learning. The mission of cooperative education plans in CTE programs is to help students gain competitive occupational skills at the level of business and industry standards through carefully supervised work-based learning.

Advisory Committees
There are two major types of advisory committees commonly associated with career and technical education programs.  One is the Career Preparation Planning Area (CPPA) advisory committee, now termed the Educational Advisory Group (EAG), for total career and technical education programs and planning at the regional level.  The second is the program (occupational) advisory committee which is used to guide an individual career and technical education program.  

Perkins Secondary Grants
Effective October 31, 1998, the Carl D. Perkins Vocational and Technical Education Act of 1998 (Perkins III), was enacted. This Act focuses on strengthening academics and career and technical education skills through high standards and curriculum integration, broadening professional development and technical assistance opportunities for career and technical education administrators, and linking secondary and post-secondary career and technical education programs.

Tech Prep
The purpose of Tech Prep is to prepare any student to enter and succeed in a career.

Teacher Certification
Michigan law requires that individuals teaching vocational education programs be certified, authorized and, if required, hold a valid state or federal license for the fields in which they will teach.  All entry credentials for teaching in career and technical education require the individual seeking the credential to have two years (4000 hours) of recent and relevant work experience in the occupational area.  There are three entry-level credentials for career and technical education teachers. 

School-To-Registered Apprenticeship
Michigan's School-to-Registered Apprenticeship (STRA) is a world- class training system that provides teens and young adults with a career pathway for the future.  High school age students, 16-19 year olds, are employed part-time with structured on-the-job training combined with classroom work.

Macomb Area Pathways
This unique partnership between the Macomb Intermediate School District, Selfridge Air National Guard Base, and Macomb County schools provides an alternative middle school education program for troubled or expelled youth.
