Career & Technical Education (CTE)

Wayne Carle Middle School offers many opportunities to introduce CTE pathways to students. These courses are designed to encourage exploration while offering a glimpse of what it takes to succeed in the work world through Work-Based Learning opportunities. Ralston Valley and Standley Lake, our feeder High Schools, then offer even more opportunities as a student chooses a pathway of interest to follow.

Jeffco Career Pathways follows the Colorado Community College System Career and Technical Education (CTE). CTE ensures a thriving Colorado economy by providing relevant and rigorous education that is connected, responsive and real. CTE engages students and prepares them with the skills they need for fulfilling careers in vital, in-demand, industries and occupations.

Jeffco CTE's mission is to prepare all students for successful careers through the real-world application of core and durable academic skills by partnering classrooms with businesses, industries and communities that positively impact the future workforce.
