Career and Technical Education HIGH SCHOOLS Students spend 2 to 4 years in specialized programs, usually earning related certifications, licensures, and college credit. Many students start working while still in school to apply their skills right away. In addition to our County’s CTE programs, we also have specialty centers at each high school where students can focus their learning experiences.
