Career & Technical Education (CTE)
Your path to becoming workforce-ready
What is Career and Technical Education?
Career and Technical Education (CTE) is all about learning the skills you need to
jump straight into a career you love. At EICC, our CTE programs are designed to be
hands-on and focused, so you’re not just studying theory – you’re preparing for real-world
challenges. Whether you want to start a new career, advance in your current job, or
explore a new passion, CTE gives you the tools to make it happen.
