CTAE Program at Peach County High School

What is CTAE?

Career Technical and Agricultural Education (CTAE) integrates core academic knowledge with technical and occupational skills to prepare students for post-secondary education and the workforce.  Career, Technical, and Agricultural Education (CTAE) began a curriculum revision process in conjunction with the Governor’s Strategic Industries and Workforce Development Task Force recommendations. In a collaborative effort involving secondary and post-secondary school instructors, determinations were made based on what knowledge and ​skills are necessary for future success in the Georgia workforce.  Program Concentrations were developed for Georgia based on this work.  Click here to learn more.
