Career and Technical Education

Central Firefighter CTE Program
Firefighter Academy at Central High School

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. 

The Office of Career & Technical Education offers 29 programs in 12 Industry Clusters. Learn more about the programs and pathways here >
