Career Technical Education (CTE) courses in Mississippi are aligned to the National Career Clusters Framework. These clusters encompass groupings of similar occupations and industries, and each career cluster may contain multiple career pathways. CTE programs offer traditional graduation options, as well as opportunities to earn dual credit and/or national certifications. Students are exposed to career options within each career cluster that can be achieved with varying levels of academic credentials, from a high school diploma to a postsecondary degree and beyond.

CTE programs aim to fill gaps in middle-skill jobs, which require more than a high school diploma but less than a four-year college degree, by supplementing traditional high school coursework with classes that prepare students for careers in a wide array of fields.
 

Madison County and Canton Public Schools offer the following CTE courses:
  • Automotive Services
  • Career Pathways Experience
  • Construction Technology
  • Digital Media Technology
  • Engineering and Robotics
  • Health Services
  • Law and Public Safety
  • Simulation and Animation Design
  • Teacher Academy
