Career and Technical Education

Career and Technology Education courses are designed to provide students with the skills needed to enter today’s workforce. We provide students with rigorous and relevant instruction to help them succeed in our high-demand, high-skilled working environment of the 21st century. Students apply academic skills along with their technical skills in the CTE classroom. Career and Technology Education can provide students with a chance to explore various career options and provide them with enhanced earning potential while continuing their education. Many Hays CISD courses are articulated with Austin Community College which means students can earn college credit while in high school at no cost to them. Our challenge is to stay relevant and current in our ever changing society. CTE Goals Make teaching and learning relevant, hands-on and

exciting for students. CTE courses integrate academics in rigorous, relevant and exciting ways.

Base CTE curriculum on current industry standards. Provide opportunities for students to earn state and

national industry standard certifications and licensure. Each program area will provide students with the

opportunity to earn college credits through local or state agreements.

Provide students with skills to gain entry-level employment in a high-skill, high-wage job and/or to continue their education.

Every student who entered high school before the 2014-2015 school year is required to complete 1 credit of technology applications for graduation. Some 3-year sequence Career and Technology courses offer technology application components for graduation. It is the student’s responsibility to check with the counselor to determine what these courses are.
