MISSION   

 A lifelong investment in learning and doing...

The mission of the Division of Careers, Technology, and Adult Education is to prepare students to successfully compete in a global job market requiring higher education and higher levels of technical skills. It is the charge of the Division staff to provide support services to assist teachers in preparing students with the knowledge and skills for higher learning at the post-secondary level, advanced technical training, and a wide range of opportunities in high-skill, high-wage careers.

OVERVIEW
