Mission
LEUSD's Career and Technical Education (CTE) provides students with technical skills, integrated activities, knowledge and work ethic necessary for successful performance in a globally competitive workforce.

About Career and Technical Education
Career and technical education is an integral part of secondary and post-secondary public education and is designed to educate about, through, and for careers.
- Career technical education provides students and adults with the technical skills, knowledge and training necessary to succeed in specific occupations and careers.
- It also prepares students for the world of work by introducing them to workplace competencies that are essential no matter what career they choose.
- Career Technical Education takes academic content and makes it accessible to students by providing it in a hands-on context.
