Did you know that certified automotive technicians can make $100,000 per year, executive chefs can earn $84,000 annually, and that it's not uncommon for some Web site designers to earn $78,000 per year? Where do students learn the skills and gain the valuable hands-on experience required for these and many other high-paying professions? The answer is simply, "in any of Alabama's career/technical education programs."

Alabama Career and Technical Education (CTE) is a statewide program designed to prepare students for college and a variety of career opportunities in the fields of Agriscience, Business/Marketing, Family and Consumer Sciences, Health Science, and Technical Education. This is accomplished by providing hands-on experience, internships, apprenticeships, and cooperative education.
