About Indiana CTE
Career and Technical Education is an integral part of Indiana’s talent development system. The state's career and technical education team is housed at the Indiana Commission for Higher Education and helps to connect industry, workforce development, and education. CTE staff assist with the development and implementation of rigorous and relevant career and technical education (CTE) programs of study that prepare students for a wide range of high-wage, high-skill, and in-demand careers. Students in Indiana’s CTE programs will gain the knowledge, skills and abilities needed for success in postsecondary education and economically viable career opportunities.
