Career & Technical Education (CTE)

Student using computer

To be career-ready, a person must first effectively navigate the various pathways connecting education to employment.  Those various pathways may include Dual Credit, Running Start, Alternative Learning Experiences, Work-based Learning, and Career and Technical Education. These programs provide students with an opportunity to become career and college ready. A career is more than just a job; it can provide financial independence and a rewarding lifestyle. A successful career in our ever-changing global economy requires adaptability and a commitment to lifelong learning, along with attainment of specific knowledge and skills.  Snoqualmie Valley’s Career and Technical Education programs will help all SVSD students navigate the pathways so they are ready to find their own fulfilling and rewarding careers
