The mission of Career Technical Education (CTE) is to ensure that every citizen of New Hampshire graduates from high school, college and career-ready.
CTE helps students gain the skills, technical knowledge, academic foundation and real-world experience they need to prepare for high-skill, high-demand, high-wage careers.
