Career & Technical Education Month (CTE) is a public awareness campaign that takes place each February to celebrate the value of CTE and the achievements and accomplishments of CTE programs across the country.

CTE provides students with career exploration opportunities early 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 that lead to good jobs in advanced manufacturing, cybersecurity, energy, health care, information technology, and transportation.
