Welcome to CTAE!
..............................................................................................................
HCHS CTAE is devoted to providing every child with the skills necessary to become a productive member of the workforce. Each program within the CTAE department provides a career pathway. Career pathways are state-approved career enhancement programs designed as a coherent, articulated sequence of academic and career related courses usually commencing in the ninth grade and leading to an associate degree, and/or an industry-recognized certificate or licensure, and/or a baccalaureate degree and beyond.
Career, Technical and Agricultural Education (CTAE) provides all Georgia students with the opportunity to select at least three sequenced electives in a career pathway, along with recommended academic course work, to prepare them to continue their education at any level or enter the world of work.

- Discover any gaps you might need to fill in your course work to meet job skill or graduation requirements

- See how to take what you are learning and apply it in the working world
As you complete the steps in working toward your goals, you will find that you are no longer wondering what you will do after graduation. You will know what you want to do and where you are going, and you’ll have a plan that will take you there.
