College, Career & Technical Education is a redesign initiative that facilitates students in making a successful transition from secondary education to college and career. The overriding vision is to incorporate 21st century skills that truly prepare students to succeed in postsecondary education, the workplace, and community life, keeping America internationally competitive. Its mission is to prepare our future workforce to be viable in the global market. The San Diego Unified School District’s Career and Technical Education Program leads the District’s efforts to improve student achievement by enhancing the educational experience through integrating core academic subjects with relevant and challenging technical and occupational knowledge.

Our current focus is the development of small learning communities (SLCs) based on a variety of academic themes founded on academic rigor, relevant content, and meaningful student-to-student/student-to-adult relationships in an innovative environment. These academic themed communities provide a personalized learning experience that accelerates students’ achievements and leads to creativity, imagination, and innovation. At the forefront of education, our SLCs blend with our Regional Occupational Program (ROP) to create a learning environment where auditory, kinesthetic, and visual methodologies synergize into a powerful learning experience that changes the traditional student into a knowledge seeker. The curriculum is challenging, engaging, and pertinent to our changing global context.

We are the next evolution of School-to-Career—
taking dreams-to-reality;we are College, Career & Technical Education (CCTE).
