CTE is Career Preparation
Career decision making and deveopment are crucial to our students and for the future of our workforce. The reality is most high school students' career planning is unintentional and uninformed. The Grossmont Union High School District is creating connections between what students learn at school and what they need to know and do in the workplace. This concept is called Career Technical Education and the goal is to prepare students both college and work. El Cajon Valley High School is launching four new or improved pathways for the 2011-2012 school year.
In Arts, Media & Entertainment Pathway students take Photography, Media, and Video Production. Students will develop skills in a project based course of study and will learn about the many careers where these skills can be applied.
