Educators in Career and Technical Education (CTE) prepare secondary, postsecondary and adult students with technical, academic and employability skills for success in the workplace and in further education. CTE educators enter the field with relevant work experience in a wide variety of technical skill areas including, allied health, auto repair, welding, marketing, business education, and computer technology. Temple's teacher certification programs in Career & Technical Education build on your professional knowledge to move your career from industry to the classroom.
