Delaware General Assembly has proclaimed February 2026 as CTE Month

The Delaware General Assembly has designated February 2026 as Career and Technical Education (CTE) Month, recognizing the essential role of CTE in preparing students for career success. CTE provides all students with career exploration opportunities earlier in their educational experience, which enables them to make informed and beneficial decisions about their academic coursework and pursue established programs of study and career pathways. As of the 2024-2025 academic year, Delaware high schools offered over 120 different CTE programs of study across the 16 Career Clusters, while Delaware middle schools offered 16 CTE programs of study, demonstrating a broad spectrum of career-focused education opportunities. In the 2024-2025 academic year, over 60% of all students in Delaware’s middle and high schools participated in at least one CTE program of study, and a duplicative total course enrollment of over 90,000, thereby showing students are learning multiple trade and industry skills across the 16 Career Clusters including Work-Based Learning courses allowing students the opportunity to integrate hands-on, practical experience with academic learning.
