Bedford County Public Schools Career and Technical Education (CTE) programs offer cutting-edge experiences for students to explore a wide range of high-wage, high-skill, high-demand career pathways. Whether a student plans to attend college, join the military or begin work right after high school, BCPS provides opportunities to support every student’s career dream and equip them with sought-after industry credentials, growing opportunities for dual enrollment and internships with local business partners.
CTE courses are offered at each middle and high school in the school division. In middle school, CTE options are offered as an exploratory experience to help introduce students to elective opportunities that they may want to pursue in high school.
High school CTE course offerings are organized into seven major program areas. Specific course offerings in Agriculture, Business and Information Technology, Family and Consumer Sciences, Health and Medical Sciences, Jr. Reserve Officer's Training Corps (JROTC), Technology Education, and Trade and Industrial program areas are outlined in Bedford County Public Schools Program of Studies.
For high school students, Susie G. Gibson Science and Technology Center (SGSTC) is the CTE hub that connects students to specialized CTE courses that reward them with credentials, certifications and real-world experience that stands out to colleges and employers.
