Preparing Career-Ready Graduates!
A career-ready graduate is a student who has all possible options available to them upon graduation from Fresno Unified School District. This student has a strong academic foundation, has completed required courses, and has acquired the workplace skills and competencies necessary for success after high school.
“After being in a CTE pathway for four years, I recognize the importance of having a growth mindset and demonstrating the skills I need to communicate and collaborate with others. I believe that CTE is able to bring forth the industry skills that can and will help all students to better their future.”
Fernando Valera

“When people say, ‘Thank God it’s Friday!’ I usually respond with a smile, ‘Yup, only two days until Monday!’ There’s some truth to that quip. I imagine a world where our workforce is happy and engaged, but we have some work to do. Thankfully, CTE is leading the charge by helping students explore and apply skills necessary to navigate joyful careers and a fulfilled life.”
Edgar Blunt
CTE Advisory Chair
“The programs and opportunities provide my students with real-life experiences which allow them to make connections to learning inside the classroom and gain life skills like teamwork, leadership, problem-solving, and perseverance. Learning becomes fun when they can experience it in real life!”
