97% of CTE students graduated high school.
94% of CTE high school graduates found a job or moved into postsecondary education.
64% went on to college compared to 54% of all Idaho students.
93% of technical college completers found jobs or continued their education.
17 out of 20 of the most in demand jobs are associated with CTE pathways.

                                                 Technical Competency Credit
Technical Competency Credit allows students to explore their technical career option in high school, then apply their high
school course work toward an Associate of Applied Science degree from The College of Southern Idaho. Benefits:

Enhanced college experience                                                Guarantee of program placement
