Education and Training

MMSD CTE Programs of Study are a series of connected education courses, experiential learning opportunities, and career support strategies aimed at helping students personalize and achieve their own educational and career goals.

The  Education & Training Program of Study offers a sequence of courses specifically designed to prepare students for employment and postsecondary options in education (early, elementary, special education), child services, program administration and leadership, and other related fields.

The earlier a student begins this sequence, the more opportunities they will have to explore fully educational and community options available.

The image presents a visual guide titled %22Navigate Your Future%22 that outlines various educational and career paths, including 2 and 4 year colleges, apprenticeship, military, and job training programs.
