Career Technical Education Pathway Program
Benicia High School has committed to the expansion of Career Technical education curriculum for all students. Career technical education programs show many students the relevance of applied learning. Seeing the connection between school and careers after graduation results in increased student motivation to succeed in school. Our high-tech economy demands more highly-skilled workers. Many high-demand, high-wage jobs require training in technical skills along with academics. Career Technical education is dedicated to preparing students for successful employment, college or continuing education, apprenticeships, and/or entrepreneurial opportunities. Benicia High’s career pathways meet industry standards and align with community colleges, 4-year programs and trade schools. Many of the pathways will end in certification, college credit, or advanced placement in apprenticeship programs.
