The vision of LAUSD’s Career Technical Education and Linked Learning department is to ensure that every student has the opportunity to access a high-quality, industry-relevant career pathway with an interdisciplinary program of study that connects experiences at every level of education, elementary through post-secondary and career readiness. 
 
Career Technical Education and Linked Learning pathway students will be adaptable, open-minded, effective communicators and advocates for self and others.
 
Mission
 
The mission of LAUSD’s Career Technical Education and Linked Learning Department is to:
  • Design and implement programs of study with high quality CTE curriculum and industry recognized certifications
  • Equip students with the necessary technical and academic competencies to thrive in both post-secondary education and their chosen careers
  • Incorporate equivalent dual enrollment CTE courses during the school day that lead to a certificate or degree when available
  • Engage students in the world of work through work based learning opportunities, including career exploration, financial literacy, job shadows, work readiness, mentorships, and internships
  • Contextualize learning through industry relevant interdisciplinary project-based units
  • Embed career technical student leadership development into pathway programs
  • Spark students’ interests in an array of enriching career technical education experiences that prepare them for a future in a diverse global society
 
* CTE Students learn 11 Anchor Standards designed to define the essential knowledge and skills to succeed in both career technical education (CTE) and the workplace. These anchor standards are integrated with academic content and apply across 15 industry sectors, ranging from Fashion Design to Information Computer Technology
