Lake Region State College Celebrates CTE

DEVILS LAKE - Each February the nation celebrates Career and Technical Education or CTE.

Lake Region State College usually holds an in-person CTE Day. With this year’s COVID guidelines that event is being placed in a virtual format and is scheduled for later this semester.

CTE covers many different fields, including health care, information technology, advanced manufacturing, hospitality and management and many more, as described in the national Career Clusters® sheets.
