Giáo dục nghề nghiệp và kỹ thuật (CTE) affords opportunities to all students interested in acquiring the academic, technical and employability skills necessary to succeed in post-high school education and/or high-demand careers. We envision a sustainable future in which Hawaiʻi graduates can live Và thrive in Hawaiʻi by being prepared to succeed in high-skill, high-wage Và high-demand occupations.

The mission of CTE is to serve our schools Và the greater community by designing quality CTE programs that meet the needs of Hawaiʻi’s labor workforce—inclusive of new pathways Và programs of study, industry standards, work-based learning, industry recognized certifications, dual credit opportunities Và professional development—as well as to ensure equity of access, Và increase participation rates Và successful outcomes.

Career Pathways

Bối cảnh CTE

The impetus for expanding the CTE Career Pathways was directly related to:

• Sự đi qua của Perkins V, which provided clearer language on CTE course rigor Và alignment of secondary Và post-secondary education with the workforce. 
• Những phát hiện từ kho khóa học CTE trước đây cho thấy chỉ có 44 trong số 77 khóa học sử dụng các tiêu chuẩn của ngành.
• Uncertainty over whether CTE offerings were vertically aligned with post-high school education and fully aligned with Hawaiʻi economic Và workforce priorities.  

An alignment study utilized state economic Và workforce data to determine high-skill, high-wage Và high-demand occupations for Hawaiʻi along with the stateʻs economic priorities Và initiatives. The results were used to inform the selection of CTE programs to meet the needs of the alignment study. This led to the expansion from six CTE Career Pathways to 13 Và the redesign of the CTE programs of study.

The redesigned Career Pathways include:

• Revision of courses, program of study industry course standards, Và recommended benchmark student learning activities to support deeper learning Và the acquisition of academic, technical and employability skills.
• A robust approach to work-based learning (WBL) consisting of embedded WBL benchmark activities that are aligned to standards Và a capstone WBL course for each program of study.

• Create linkages between industry, high school Và post-high school education.
• Enhance the industry and technical skills experiences of CTE educators.
• Provide collaborative opportunities for input Và consultation.

Career and Technical Student Organizations

Career and Technical Student Organizations (CTSOs) are an integral component of CTE classroom curriculum Và instruction. They develop employability and career skills by engaging students in applied learning experiences. 

CTSOs enhance learning by providing opportunities for contextual instruction, leadership Và personal development, Và real world application.

RIASEC Test for Career Pathways

RIASEC codes are a way of classifying people according to their interests so that they can be matched with appropriate careers. The system was developed by Dr. John L. Holland, an academic psychologist. Dr. Holland’s theory proposes that there are six broad areas into which all careers can be classified. These same six areas can be used to describe people, their personalities Và interests. For instance, “Building” careers are those that involve working with tools or machinery (e.g., carpenter, mechanic or airline pilot). People with building interests typically like working with their hands Và creating a tangible product.

Quân đoàn huấn luyện sĩ quan dự bị cấp dưới (JROTC)

Các Quân đoàn huấn luyện sĩ quan dự bị cấp dưới (JROTC) is a four-year CTE elective program of instruction cost-shared by the U.S. Army, Navy, Air Force Và Marine Corps. Two consecutive JROTC courses fulfill the CTE two-credit requirement for a high school diploma. 

The curriculum is designed to teach high school students the value of citizenship, leadership, personal responsibility Và teamwork, while instilling self esteem, self discipline Và a sense of accomplishment. JROTC cadets earn advanced rank when enlisting into any branch of the military, Và advanced opportunities for federal/military academy appointments Và ROTC college scholarships.​ JROTC is not a military recruiting program; cadets will not incur any military obligation upon completion of the program.

JROTC is a service to our nation, in that it provides cadets the motivation Và skills to improve physical fitness, remain drug free, think critically Và creatively, communicate effectively, work as a team member, graduate from high school, pursue meaningful careers, Và become successful citizens.
