Birmingham City Schools considers CTE to be the foundation of our city, county, and state’s future. 

The rigor and relevance of CTE programs are achieved through offering a variety of occupation-based programs consisting of sequenced courses. 

To achieve the maximum benefit from CTE courses, students are encouraged to complete at least three courses in the sequence. These courses are based upon the Alabama State Department of Education (ALSDE) approved CTE courses of study, which provide the technical skills and academic knowledge necessary for success in current and emerging occupations and postsecondary education.

Students are fortunate to have the experience of working with people at major corporations and the leadership of highly qualified teachers available when developing their skills for college and their future careers.
