Career and Technical Education (CTE) (Oregon)

Tool Search: Career and Technical Education (CTE)

The CTE tool tracks student participation in Career and Technical Education courses and aids in monitoring student progress toward course completion. The Oregon Board of Education defines CTE (or Work-Based Learning) as follows:

Structured learning in the workplace or simulated environment provides opportunities for sustained interactions with industry or community professionals that foster in-depth, firsthand experience of the expectations and application of knowledge and skills required in a given career field.

A student can have multiple active CTE records at one time.
