Career and Technical Education (CTE) programs in Illinois provide instruction for careers in high-wage, high-skill, and high-demand occupations in Agricultural Education; Business, Marketing and Computer Education; Family and Consumer Sciences; Health Science Technology; and Technology and Engineering Education (Industrial). CTE programs continue to strengthen students’ technical skills; articulate transitions to postsecondary programs, employment or both; assist in meeting the Illinois Learning Standards; and close achievement gaps. These programs are instrumental in supporting local districts to ensure student success and promoting continuous improvement.
This CTE Month, celebrate your graduating students’ success in securing a high-skill, high-wage, in-demand career with a CTE Signing Day. Similar to athletic signing days, CTE Signing Day recognizes the culmination of students’ hard work and promotes CTE to the community. The Innovative Curriculum Resources Project has suggestions that can help you organize a successful signing day event.
