Creating a world-class workforce for Georgia in the 21st Century..

CTAE Is Reengineering Itself for the 21st Century

Career, Technical and Agricultural Education – or – CTAE – has historically provided students with the high-quality education necessary to prepare for career opportunities in the Georgia economy. While CTAE has been successful, emerging technologies and evolving employer expectations to have a highly qualified, motivated, and reliable workforce demand that Georgia strategically re-tool CTAE. The new vision for CTAE retains its challenging curriculum, yet expands the scope to ensure that every Georgia student graduates from high school with the academic skills, hands-on experience in real work environments, and intensive career guidance required to succeed in college and/or employment. Georgia Superintendent of Schools, Kathy Cox, describes CTAE as: “Linking classroom learning to real-world earning opportunities available in the state will help the state grow its own highly skilled workforce, attract future economic development, and ensure that every student is prepared to build a rewarding future right here in Georgia.” For more information about CTAE, please contact one of the following:
