CTAE Description:
The Pike County Career, Technical, and Agricultural Education (CTAE) program prepares students for success in college, careers, and beyond by providing hands-on learning opportunities in a variety of industries. Through engaging coursework, state-of-the-art facilities, and real-world experiences like internships and work-based learning, students develop technical skills, explore career pathways, and gain valuable leadership abilities. Whether pursuing careers in healthcare, agriculture, heavy equipment operation, technology, or other high demand, high wage career fields, Pike County CTAE equips students with the tools to excel in a competitive workforce and make meaningful contributions to our community.
WBL Description:
The vision of Pike County High School’s Work-Based Learning Program is to equip students for their future career by providing relevant, on-the-job experiences in industry-specific settings (ROI). By focusing on ROI, ensuring our students gain practical skills, valuable insights, and real-world connections, we aim to prepare them to compete in a global workforce.
Through the Work-Based Learning program, students are able to earn course credit while applying skills gained in CTAE courses off campus in a work setting. Some of these internships have even converted to long term career opportunities after graduation! To participate in Work-Based Learning, students must be at least 16 at the beginning of the school year, have reliable transportation to and from work, be on track to graduate, and have positive attendance and behavior records.
