The purpose of Career and Technical Education at Page Unified School District is to prepare the youth of today to enter the workforce of tomorrow.
 
The future workforce needs look very different from those in the past. The projections show that 20% of the workers will need to be professionals, 15% will be unskilled and 65% will need to be skilled workers. It is the goal of Career and Technical Education to help students enter a field to become a skilled worker. Page High School offers 13 comprehensive programs from which a student can choose.
 
Knowing the employment needs of the future is more important today than ever before because many students begin employment upon high school graduation. Even students who choose to peruse more education after high school often work while attending school. With meaningful career skills, our graduates can enter the work force as skilled workers, ready to face the challenges of the future.

All students attending Page Middle School will complete the state competencies for Career and Technical Education in Career Exploration. Students will participate in career exploration at the 6th, 7th, and 8th grade level. Currently, the district is using AZCIS Career Exploration Program.

During their 8th grade year, students should complete a Four Year Plan based on their identified career pathway.

For more information on how to access AZCIS contact:  egonzales@pageud.k12.az.us.

Students enrolled in a CTE program at the high school should have a high school 4-year plan that includes two or more CTE courses in a coherent occupational sequence and is aligned with their identified career pathway.

Students' CTE program experience is organized around specific occupational skills and is coordinated with business and industry standards and when possible, industry certification. Page Unified School District offers 13 different occupational skill courses.
