On behalf of the Texas Education Agency College, Career, and Military Preparation staff we wish you Happy CTE Month! Throughout the month, we join the nation in celebrating you, the teachers, counselors, and administrators who have worked hard to provide students with robust and quality CTE programs that prepare them for high-wage, high-skill, and in-demand occupations.

As we celebrate National CTE month, we are grateful for all who help prepare our students for college, career, and military postsecondary success.
