About Career Technical Education (CTE) in NC (source: https://www.dpi.nc.gov/districts-schools/classroom-resources/career-and-technical-education)

"The mission of Career and Technical Education (CTE) is to empower all students to be successful citizens, workers and leaders in a global economy. CTE   gives purpose to learning by emphasizing real-world skills and practical knowledge. Programs in Career and Technical Education are designed to contribute to   the broad educational achievement of students, including basic skills such as reading, writing, and mathematics, as well as their ability to work independently   and as part of a team, think creatively, solve problems, and utilize technology. These tools and experiences make school more relevant, and ensure students   are ready for the real world. Whether students plan to further their education in community colleges, technical schools, four-year colleges and universities,   receive on-the-job training, or pursue careers in the military, CTE can be the first step in a pathway toward productive employment and citizenship."

 "We are proud to have 931,801 Career and Technical Education participants. The 2018 CTE Concentrator Graduation rate of 99.2% is evidence of how CTE is     learning that works for North Carolina."
