CTE - Career and Technical Education

Career and Technical Education 

 

At Region 14, Career and Technical Education (CTE) isn't just about preparing for the future—it’s about building it today. Our team assists districts in bridging the gap between school and high-demand careers by equipping students with hands-on skills, industry-recognized certifications, and real-world experience.

From agriculture and energy to health sciences, applied agricultural engineering, and manufacturing—to name a few—CTE pathways empower students to turn their passions into thriving, high-wage professions in our region, Texas, and beyond.

How We Support Our Districts

The Region 14 team is dedicated to assisting districts with strategic growth, professional excellence, and real-world connections. We partner with you through:

  • Strategic Growth & Funding: Expert guidance on Perkins V annual applications, federal basic grant fund implementation, and TEA compliance.

  • Professional Excellence: Specialized professional development that bridges the gap between core academics and technical skills to build a career-ready campus.

  • Real-World Connections: Helping districts bridge the gap between education and employment by facilitating internships, industry tours, and high-impact engagement events for students.

 

School district and campus staff should contact the Region 14 CTE team with questions on the program and updated information and guidance.

  • PA1. Annual Public Notification

    Prior to the beginning of each school year the local education agency (LEA) must advise students, parents, employees, applicants, and the general public that all opportunities in Career and Technical Education (CTE) programs will be offered without regard to race, color, national origin, sex, or disability. This public notice provides assurance that limited English speaking skills will not be a barrier to admission or participation in CTE programs, and the LEA designates a person or persons to coordinate CTE activities under Title IX and Section 504. Announcement of this policy of nondiscrimination may be made in local newspapers, publications, and/or media that reach the general public, program beneficiaries, minorities, women, and the disabled. In addition, if the LEA’s service area contains a community of national-origin minority persons with limited English language skills, the CTE notice is made available in that community’s primary language.

    PA3. Continuous Nondiscrimination Statement

    An LEA must take continuous steps to notify participants, beneficiaries, applicants, parents, employees (including those with impaired vision or hearing), other interested parties, and unions or professional organizations holding collective bargaining or professional agreements with the LEA that it does not discriminate on the basis of race, color, national origin, sex, disability, or age. A statement of nondiscrimination shall be included on publications and other materials that are distributed to or accessible by students, parents, applicants, beneficiaries, employees, unions or professional organizations holding collective bargaining or professional agreements with the LEA, and other interested parties.

    TEA Non-Discrimination Notices

    To access non-discrimination notices please access from the TEA website.
