Welcome to CTE Pathways
High school students across the Valley are discovering their futures through Career & Technical Education (CTE) Dual Enrollment. These programs let you earn college credit while completing the CTE classes you already love at your high school — giving you hands‑on experience, real‑world skills, and a head start on certificates and degrees.
CTE Dual Enrollment courses are taught at your high school by college‑certified instructors and align directly with Phoenix College’s occupational programs. Every class you complete moves you closer to Certificates of Completion (CCLs), stackable credentials, and future degrees — all before graduation.
