Career and Technical Education programs of study are course sequences that prepare students with the knowledge and skills necessary for success in their chosen career. These course sequences embed relevant, real work experiences, and culminate in a postsecondary credential. Programs of study offered by Judson ISD have been approved by the Texas Education Agency (TEA) in accordance with the Strengthening Career and Technical Education for the 21st Century Act (Perkins V).
The Texas Education Agency engaged members of the workforce, secondary education, and higher education to advise on the development of programs of study, including coherent sequences of courses, industry-based certifications, and work-based learning to ensure students are prepared for high-skill, high-wage, and in-demand careers in Texas. The results of the work established 53 Statewide programs of study which include occupations that meet Texas labor market criteria including projected job growth, annual job openings, and the state median wage. Each program of study leads to postsecondary education, training opportunities, and aligns to statewide graduation endorsements.
Judson ISD offers 29 CTE career programs across our three comprehensive high schools (programs vary by location).
