What’s New

Career and Technical Education (CTE) offers a pathway to in-demand careers through shorter training programs, lower tuition costs, and opportunities to earn living wages without a traditional four-year degree. Yet many individuals—especially those with mental health conditions (MHCs), learning differences, or other barriers—face challenges exploring CTE options and navigating the application process.

My CTE Journey is the first interactive digital toolkit of its kind, designed to help users explore CTE opportunities, prepare applications, strengthen study skills, and access accommodation resources through an engaging, easy-to-use platform. The toolkit also includes searchable, downloadable, printable, and multilingual features. Whether you are a student, family member, or professional in vocational rehabilitation, behavioral health, education, workforce development, or community-based services, My CTE Journey can help support the path to long-term career success.
