Career Technical Education
Rocklin High School’s Career & Technical Education (CTE) Pathways empower students with hands-on, real-world learning experiences that prepare them for success, whether their next step is a four-year university, community college, trade program, or career entry.
Aligned with the California Department of Education’s CTE standards, each pathway provides students with opportunities to:
-
Build practical, 21st-century skills for college and career readiness
-
Earn industry-recognized certifications, pre-apprenticeships, and program completion awards
-
Develop a professional portfolio and digital presence
-
Engage in internships on campus or with local businesses
-
Attend industry-specific conferences and competitions
-
Earn college credit through dual enrollment (in select courses)
-
Be honored with a graduation cord for completing their CTE pathway
CTE students gain experience in critical thinking, communication, leadership, collaboration, and innovation—highly demanding skills across all fields. Many CTE courses also satisfy A–G requirements for University of California admission.
Studies show that students who complete a CTE pathway alongside rigorous academics are more likely to succeed in postsecondary education, maintain higher GPAs, and persist through their first year of college.
Rocklin High's CTE Teachers are committed to developing 21st-century leaders who demonstrate integrity, honor, and compassion as they gain the academic and technological skills needed to achieve excellence in college and career.
