At the middle school level, MMSD CTE programs offer hands-on learning, practical experiences, and the foundational skills and knowledge necessary for success in high school and beyond.
In each middle school CTE course, students learn content-specific skills and essential career-readiness practices such as problem-solving, team collaboration, effective communication, and networking with industry partners.
