Maryland Career and Technology Education (CTE) Programs (Information from MSDE: http://www.marylandpublicschools.org/programs/Pages/CTE/CTEprograms.aspx) According to Maryland State Department of Education (MSDE), Career and Technology Education (CTE) prepares both youth and adults for a wide range of careers. These careers require varying levels of education- from high school and postsecondary certificates, to apprenticeships, or two- and four-year college degrees. Students add value to their overall education by completing CTE programs of study that provide opportunities to earn industry- recognized credentials and college credit while still in high school. Maryland's Career Technology Education (CTE) programs fall under clusters, groupings of interrelated occupations that represent the full range of career opportunities in key economic sectors of Maryland’s economy. College and school administrators, counselors, and faculty members are using the career cluster system to develop programs that extend from high school to two-and four-year colleges/universities, apprenticeship programs and the workplace. Maryland’s CTE Career Clusters (Information about Career Clusters: www.marylandpublicschools.org/programs/Pages/CTE-Programs-of- Study/Clusters/index.aspx) Maryland’s career clusters are driven by what students need to know and do in order to graduate fully prepared for further education and careers in the 21st century global economy.
