Every high school bears the responsibility of preparing their students for post-secondary success, but unfortunately, many districts are hamstrung by tight budgets and teacher rosters that emphasize core curriculum requirements. Skyrocket offers affordable solutions for specialized instruction such as Career Technical Education (CTE) and Art Enrichment programming.
Skyrocket CTE Pathways have been designed to prepare students for careers in high-growth sectors. Each Pathway is comprised of sequential credit-bearing courses designed to provide hands-on experience and foundational job skills attainment in accordance with all California State CTE program requirements.
Every student who completes a Skyrocket CTE Pathway will have the opportunity to attend a Pathway Graduation event and continue their relationship with Skyrocket CTE Counselors who assist with post-graduation internship and job placement opportunities.
