CTE Career Pathways

A detailed chart with multiple columns and rows, likely containing data or information.

CTE Pathways

Each Pathway is a from one of the 15 California Industry "SECTORS", followed by a "PATHWAY" within that sector, and then our course sequencing, which consists of a Concentrator or 1st course, and a Capstone, or 2nd course. Courses should be taken in sequence when at all possible for students to be considered CTE Pathway Completers.

*Denotes DUAL ENROLLMENT or "DE"
Dual Enrollment is when students earn UC/CSU transferable credit (in most cases) while taking a high school course, while they are in high school, during the normal school day. Students are typically taught by their high school teacher, and must earn a C (75%) or better to earn the credit. There is no special test, or enrollment sign up, other than parents must sign a form at the beginning of the class that they may receive the credit.

& Denotes CTSO's
CTSO stands for CTE Student Organization. CTSO's are clubs that complement the CTE Pathway sector, and many times students travel and compete regionally and/or nationally. Clubs are student run organizations that are part of the ASB (associated student body). There are 6 organizations recognized by CTE, two of which include FBLA, and HOSA. MVLA is in the process of adding these CTE affliated clubs.

Denotes Industry Certification 
MVLA is in the process of adding industry recognized credentials and certificates for many of it's pathways at no cost to students. A few of these include OSHA-10 General Industry, CPR certification, Foodsafe safeserve, NC3 Mechatronics 1, NC3 AC/DC Fundamentals, Festo PLCs-Siemens, and Universal Robotics 1 is coming soon!
