Program Approval

ABOUT PROGRAM APPROVAL

Program approval for high school Career and Technical Education (CTE) programs ensures that students receive a quality, industry-relevant education that aligns with state and federal standards. Schools seeking approval must demonstrate that their CTE programs meet specific criteria, such as offering coursework that prepares students for careers in high-demand fields.

This process often includes aligning the curriculum with industry standards, having qualified instructors, and providing students with opportunities for hands-on learning and internships. Approval is typically granted by a state education agency or board, which reviews program proposals to ensure they meet the necessary requirements.
