Career and Technical Education

Technological advances and global competition continue to transform the nature of work at an ever growing pace.
As a result, jobs today and those in the future will require more knowledge, better skills and more flexibility than ever before. But how and where do students start when choosing a career with so many career choices available?

A great starting place is with Career Clusters, Pathways, and Programs of Study. To better prepare students for the 21st century and to help them graduate college and career ready, Palm Beach County School District has developed Career and Technical Education programs encompassing Rigorous Programs of Study, to give students the academic preparation, direction, and career-related knowledge to help them plan studies that are in line with their interests, abilities, and career goals.
