The Delaware General Assembly has designated February 2025 as Career and Technical Education (CTE) Month, recognizing the essential role of CTE in preparing students for career success. With participation from 31 local education agencies, Delaware is a leader in CTE offering over 120 CTE programs across 16 Career Clusters. In the 2023-2024 academic year, 63.7% of students engaged in CTE, with 8,250 students enrolled in Work-Based Learning. Delaware’s CTE concentrators achieved a 96.4% graduation rate, surpassing state targets. As a national leader in CTE, Delaware provides students with early college credits, industry credentials, and hands-on learning opportunities, strengthening workforce readiness and economic development.
February is Career and Technical Education Month! To help celebrate the Delaware Advisory Council on Career and Technical Education (DACCTE), along with partners from the Department of Labor and Department of Education, is hosting a CTE poster contest. To recognize Career and Technical Education as an integral part of our educational system and economy, and to celebrate, we would like to showcase the amazing talent represented in CTE classrooms every day. The winning student poster will be used to celebrate CTE Month in Delaware.
