Mission

The Buffalo Schools Career & Technical Education Department is dedicated to offering all students world-class career programming related to our regional labor market needs and trends. These programs will integrate academics with rigorous technical skills that provide a quality pathway to workplace success while fostering professional attitudes and workforce behaviors. Students will be offered interactive experiences inclusive of project-based learning, internships, job shadowing, and other work-based learning opportunities.

Vision

The Career & Technical Education Department's vision is to maintain its world-class offerings of career programming. This programming will continue to solidify our culture of rigor, relevance, and relationships. The strength of our rigor will be built upon fundamental teaching. The relevance will be seen in our real-world simulations and engagement. Our relationships with all stakeholders will ensure that we are aligned with evolving trends and demands in the workplace. With the strategic implementation of these cultural values, our students will acquire the skills to prepare them for college and/or careers.

A message from CTE Director, Rob Harris: This is the month we celebrate the incredible impact of Career & Technical Education on the preparation of our students for high demand, high wage careers. CTE empowers learners with hands-on-skills, real-world experiences and pathways to successful futures.

Let's recognize our Buffalo Schools CTE Educators, students, and industry partners who help to make CTE the driving force in workforce development.  Keep learning, innovating, and building for our futures!

We have a lot of great new things to celebrate in CTE and you should be proud industry, expert instructors who in turn should be proud of the students we send out into the world of work.

In celebration we have opened a CTE store that will remain open until the 17th of February.
