Rachelle Barkus - MCS - Career Technical Education
With Modesto City Schools CTE courses, students learn skills and career knowledge that set them on a path to a bright future. Students exit our programs prepared for college and career with a strong academic background, the knowledge of the opportunities and requirements for a career, and with valuable workplace skills. When industry and academia are combined, students understand the importance of learning and how it applies to their future careers and studies. Students taking a CTE sequence perform better on assessments, graduate at higher rates, and are more successful in both college and the job market.
MCS has a long history of operating successful Career Technical Education programs. Today’s CTE programs are rigorous and relevant programs that combine academic knowledge with technical skills and application of learning in hands-on, real-life contexts to prepare students with viable skills for today’s increasingly complex workforce.
