About Career & Technical Education
CTE provides you with the knowledge and hands-on training necessary to succeed in your future career. More than 10,000 students are enrolled in Salem-Keizer Public School's CTE programs, which have a 99.37% graduation rate for program concentrators.
Read more about what you'll learn in our CTE programs and the careers they'll prepare you for in our CTE Career & College Opportunities brochure.
The Difference Between CTE and CTEC
While Salem-Keizer high schools have CTE programs on campus, the Career & Technical Education Center (CTEC) serves as a hub for junior and senior students enrolled in CTEC's programs. Students are still enrolled at their home high school and spend 2.5 days a week on the CTEC campus.
How to Apply to CTE Programs
- No application is necessary for CTE programs offered at the high school you are enrolled at.
- If you're interested in a program offered at CTEC and are on track to begin next school year as a junior or senior, you can apply for admission to CTEC.
CTE Programs in Middle & High Schools
Salem-Keizer is proud to offer 50 state-approved CTE programs and four startup programs. Sixteen of these programs offer industry certification, opening the door for students to transfer into an community college, apprenticeship program or directly into a career.
A complete list of CTE programs and their locations are listed below. In addition to high school CTE programs, all Salem-Keizer middle schools offer career center labs.
