If you would like to join the noblest profession, Career and Technical Education Specialized Certificate options may provide an avenue into the classroom.

A CTE Specialized Certificate allows individuals with appropriate occupational knowledge and skills to instruct in a CTE pathway assignment in grades 8-12. (Note: Knowledge and skills must be verified by an Industry Recognized Certificate and five years of full-time work experience in that technical profession.)
