Career and Technical Education (CTE)

CTE logo

The CTE program at the  Tooele County School District is designed to empower students to live, learn and work as productive citizens. CTE offers our students the unique ability to get specific, practical, and professional skills that can make the difference in getting their first job or making your college application stand out!

CTE incorporates challenging academic experiences which can lead to an industry certificate in addition to enhancing a student's high school diploma by:

  • Empowering students to participate in work-based learning experiences 
  • Demonstrating competency in high-demand skills needed to get a job or advancement in various job positions.
  • Completing a CTE program that consists of a planned program of courses and learning experiences culminating in a state or industry certification. 

In the TCSD, we offer CTE programs in over 30 occupational areas, allowing students to acquire both technical (hands-on) and academic skills. Over the course of three years starting in 10th grade, students receive 1,080 hours of specific instruction, using state-of-the-art equipment, and under the watchful eye of experienced industry professionals trained to teach our students in the classroom
