- Acquiring generic work competencies and proficiencies useful for employment
- Attaining foundational skills that support success in educational and professional endeavors
- Establishing pathways for continuing education and lifelong learning

CTE adds relevancy to rigorous coursework through methods such as contextual teaching and learning and applied academics. Students may call it “hands-on.” When they see the relevance of what they are learning, students tend to be more engaged in their education.
