Career & Technical Education
Mission Statement
At the Troy School District, our mission is to cultivate a culture of career readiness among our students from Kindergarten through grade 12 by fostering career awareness, encouraging exploration of diverse career pathways, and providing robust preparation for future success.
Through engaging curriculum, hands-on experiences, and strategic partnerships with industry leaders, we empower every student to discover their passions, develop essential skills, and confidently pursue their chosen careers, ensuring they are well-prepared to make meaningful contributions to society.
When Career Technical Education is integrated with a student's academic schedule, students develop the skills needed for success. The technical, academic and employability skills that students gain in CTE programs and work-based learning are essential for college and career success.
The top 3 Skills and experiences that students report gaining from CTE:
- SKILLS to help them get jobs in the future.
- REAL-WORLD EXAMPLES to help them understand academic classes.
- The chance to work as PART OF A TEAM.
We foster in our students a sense of purpose, and help them carve a path that aligns their skills, interests, and values with their professional aspirations.
