Thank you for your interest in the Connecticut Technical Education and Career System (CTECS)!
CTECS is very different from traditional high schools. We recommend students genuinely be interested in earning a technical education, learning a trade, and have a deep understanding of the rigor and demands of a CTECS education, including:
- A 182-day academic curriculum being taught in 91 days each year.
- The number of hours required to learn trade skills (both during school hours, after school, and beyond graduation in some instances).
- Requirements of earning credentials, certifications, and licensure for specific trades.
We recommend that you examine the CTECS website to understand some of the details of successfully earning a trade certification in conjunction with an academic high school diploma, which is offered to students who choose to attend a technical high school.
