Career and Technical Teacher Education Program
The Career and Technical Teacher Education program prepares individuals to become certified as teachers of career and technical education (CTE) subjects in grades 7-12 in CTE and comprehensive high schools. The program leads to the Initial and Professional Certificates valid for teaching specific CTE subjects within the career fields of family and consumer sciences (e.g., culinary arts, textile design); health occupations (e.g., dental hygiene, dental lab technology, nursing, vision care technology), technical occupations (e.g., architectural, electronics, graphic arts, computer technology), and trade occupations (e.g., aircraft maintenance, electrical installation, computer repairs, and vehicle maintenance) in secondary schools. The content core courses for specialization in these technical and career areas are usually acquired through other programs and before students enroll in the teacher education program. Students are also expected to satisfy a full-time work experience requirement prior to or during enrollment in the teacher education program.
