Program Update:
We are accepting applications starting November 1, 2023. However, our next cohort will begin in the fall of 2024. Applications will be reviewed starting the week of January 8, 2024.
Applicants may apply to our program and for the preliminary CTE credential now. If a candidate qualifies, they will be recommended for the preliminary CTE credential. Once the credential is granted by the Commission on Teacher Credentialing, they will be admitted into our program.Once admitted, a candidate must receive a job offer to teach a CTE course in the 2024-2025 school year in order to enroll in the fall 2024 term.
Starting in the 2024-2025 school year, our first-time credential-holder program will consist of three courses: one course each in the fall, winter and spring terms.
We are making these changes in order to enhance our current offerings and services for our candidates.
