Welcome

Welcome to the Career Preparation Network (CPN) website. Whether you arrived here by referral or by chance, we invite you to explore how career and technical education programs prepare students for college, careers, and life beyond middle and high school. 

What Is Career and Technical Education?

Career and Technical Education (CTE) prepares students for college
and career readiness through hands-on learning tied to real industries. Programs combine strong academics with practical skills across fields
such as agriculture, business, culinary, education, healthcare,
manufacturing technology, and the skilled trades.

CTE helps students explore interests, earn college credit, and
gain experience that connects classroom learning to real-world careers.
