What is Career Education?
Career Education (formerly known as Career Technical Education, or CTE) is a term for educational
programs that specialize in skilled trades, applied arts and sciences, and modern
technologies. CE programs are designed to advance job skills and marketability for today's workforce demands.
Not all jobs require a bachelor’s degree or even an associate degree. Many of our
CE certificates may be obtained in less than one year.
