CTAE Pathways

Career pathways are state-approved, career-enhancement programs defined as a coherent, articulated sequence of rigorous academic and career-related courses usually commencing in the ninth grade and leading to a baccalaureate degree, an associates degree, and/or an industry-recognized certificate or licensure.

Career, Technical and Agricultural Education (CTAE) provides all Georgia students with the opportunity to select at least three sequenced electives in a career pathway, along with recommended academic course work, to prepare them to continue their education at any level or enter the workforce.

Selection of a pathway will be based on self-awareness and the investigation of occupations, plus related educational levels aligned with the pathway. Most high-demand, high-skilled, high-wage occupations in all concentrations still do require education beyond high school. Implementation of career pathways is a collaborative effort between Gainesville City Schools, the Technical College System of Georgia and the University System of Georgia.

The Gainesville City School System does not discriminate in admission or access to, or treatment, or employment in its programs and activities on the basis of sex, race, color, age, disability, religion, or national origin.
