Career and Technical Education (CTE) is a focused, powerful educational experience that prepares students for both industry and higher education.  To be successful in CTE, students must commit to the pursuit of an academic diploma and RIDE- mandated industry credentials.  Students will work harder than many of their peers, but be positioned for high-wage, high growth careers. 

There are 24 CTE programs and pathways in the Providence Public Schools. Learn more about the programs and pathways here >

2020-2021 Academic Year

The Admission Application process for the academic school year 2020-21 has begun!  We are very excited to invite you to be part of our Virtual Program Presentation that our Career and Technical Program Coordinators Team have put together with you in mind.

With the support of the School Principals and the Guidance Counselors, we have prepared an informative video detailing each one of the programs and pathways that the Providence School Career and Technical Office has to offer, and that best define your son/daughter interest to be able to assist them with their choices prior to fill out the application.

As a family, you all will have the opportunity to review the programs and the Career and Technical Application process and join us in supporting the career choice of your son/daughter.
