CTE Model Curriculum Standards/Framework Update
The California Department of Education (CDE) is initiating the process of updating the Career Technical Education (CTE) Model Curriculum Standards (MCS) and Framework to bring California into alignment with the Advance CTE National Career Clusters Framework (PDF). This framework serves as the foundation for CTE programs in every state and is used for reporting processes at the national level. This alignment will ensure California's CTE programs stay current, skills-based, and aligned to current workforce needs.
