Career and Technical Education Programs

Hundreds of different career and technical education (CTE) certificate and associate degree programs are offered by the 32 public postsecondary educational institutions in Kansas. Many of the certificate programs can be completed in a year or less. Students who complete 12 or more technical credit course hours of a CTE program are considered “concentrators” and sometimes land a good job before completing the program. However, it is almost always best to complete the full certificate or associate degree program in the long term, and it’s never too late to complete to compete and to get ahead in your career!
