Career & Technical Education Opportunities in the Ingham ISD Service Area
In Michigan, Career and Technical Education (CTE) programs bring learning to life by combining classroom instruction with hands-on experiences. Students gain valuable skills, explore career options, and even earn industry certifications and/or college credit while still in high school. By building connections with local industries and employers, CTE helps students transition into their next phase of life more quickly and with a greater level of confidence. These experiences give students a head start on their future, opening doors to exciting opportunities and showing them clear pathways to reach their goals.
