14. Career and technical
    education is designed
    to lead students into
    careers immediately
    after graduation.
    Thirty-one percent of
    students enroll in CTE
    majors.
    The college parallel
    function lets students
    transfer into a four-
    year institution. Sixty
    percent of students
    are enrolled in college
    parallel majors.
    Students are
    beginning to enroll in
    a combination of
    college parallel and
    career and technical
    education programs.
    Four percent of
    enrollees are in both
    programs.
