Merging Academics with Hands-On Skills
Exploring career choices as a teen can be guesswork. Career and Technical Education (CTE) is out to change that. CTE programs offer students immersive environments for learning hands-on skills in high-demand careers.
CTE Classrooms for Middle School & High School
Today’s CTE exposes students to a broader range of industries sooner. It requires intentional environments, with tables, seating and storage that become part of the curriculum. Some examples: stainless steel tabletops for practicing culinary arts, adjustable stools for building model rockets, and mobile tool storage for auto mechanics.
Design Considerations
First, narrow down which CTE career pathways to offer students. Then follow these general tips for your school’s CTE classroom, shop, lab, kitchen or more:
- Replicate professional environments for hands-on learning
- Keep layouts flexible
- Integrate technology
- Prioritize safety and storage
