DCSD

Career & Technical Education Programming • Based on the Colorado Career Cluster Model which is

composed of the following:– 6 Industry Sectors– 17 Career Clusters– 83 Career Pathways

• In addition to a teaching license, CTE Teachers are expected to hold a CTE credential in each career cluster or pathway area in which they teach.

• Each CTE program is required to have a Career and Technical Student Organization (CTSO). Students participate in competitive events in which they apply the knowledge and skills learned in the classroom. (e.g. DECA, FBLA, FCCLA, TSA, Skills USA, etc. )
