CTE IS A KEY LEVER FOR COLLEGE AND

CAREER READINESS IN NEW YORK CITY

CONFIDENTIAL DRAFT – for discussion only 9

1905-1960: 18 CTE high schools opened

• Large schools with multiple career tracks

• National standouts and industry pipelines: Aviation, Fashion Industries

1960-2003: no new CTE high schools opened

• Rise of “college for all” approach to education served to stigmatize “voc ed” as dumping ground for less able students

2004-today: 28 new CTE schools have opened

• Smaller and more focused; easier to align with industry

• Return to notion of high school as career exploration opportunity; aligned to workplace competencies that employers value

• Key input to industry pipelines and local economic development

• Focus on college and career

There are 38 designated Career and Technical Education high schools in

New York City, serving approximately 26,000 students annually.
