Typically, when business professionals look for qualified employees, they search for candidates that are highly skilled, who have excellent communication skills, and leadership training. Often, high school students struggle to get the kind of experience required for many of today's top career opportunities. This is why the primary focus of CTE is to work with local and international businesses in different career fields to ensure students are equipped with the skills needed for lifelong success.

The Alabama Department of Education is the only state-level educational agency in the nation to receive certification from the International Organization for Standardization (ISO) for its business/industry certification (BIC) process, used to certify CTE programs for industry compliance.
