Littleton Public Schools Celebrates Career and Technical Education Month
Littleton Public Schools Celebrates Career and Technical Education Month
February is Career and Technical Education (CTE) Month, and we’re thrilled to spotlight the incredible opportunities available to our students! CTE programs provide hands-on, real-world learning experiences that prepare students for high-demand careers, all under the guidance of highly qualified, credentialed teachers.
Why CTE Matters
CTE classrooms go beyond traditional learning—students apply their skills in meaningful ways, develop leadership abilities, and gain the confidence to excel in their future careers. Whether their next step is college, a trade, the workforce, military service, or a gap year, CTE gives them a competitive edge!
The BIG 3: Keys to Future Success
The latest Post Workforce Readiness Financial Study highlights three key areas that are shaping Colorado’s education and workforce landscape:
- Industry Certifications
- Post-Secondary College Credits (Advanced Placement, Concurrent Enrollment, International Baccalaureate)
- Work-Based Learning Experiences
The great news? LPS students in CTE programs can have access to all three! These pathways ensure students can graduate with valuable experience, recognized credentials, and a head start in their chosen fields.
