What is CTE Month?

According to ACTE (Association of Career and Technical Education), “Career and Technical Education Month® is a public awareness campaign, hosted by ACTE and sponsored by National Association of Home Builders, that takes place each February to celebrate CTE, the accomplishments of CTE programs and the importance of CTE for all students of all ages.”

Why Blanson CTE?

From our state-of-the-art educational training facility and our 17 programs of study to our award winning Career and Technical Student Organizations (CTSOs), Blanson CTE is a School of Choice with access to real-world experiences and career training.

Our students  have the opportunity to graduate with industry certifications, workforce certifications and/or hours toward their post-secondary education.   That’s the “Blanson Advantage”!

We prepare students for the workforce. At Blanson, students develop specific academic, intellectual and technical knowledge and experiences. They gain skills necessary to be competitive in the global workforce. Many of these high-paying jobs do not require a two- or four-year college degree. Blanson CTE HS students will be able to earn industry-recognized certifications. This will allow them to enter the workforce upon graduation.
