Choosing the right school for your child can be overwhelming, but A Parent’s Guide to San Diego Schools is here to help. This research-based guide gives families clear information about local school options. A new focus for this year is the power of Career Technical Education (CTE).

CTE is helping students prepare for real-world jobs by giving them hands-on experience in fields like healthcare, technology, and construction. These programs build skills, boost confidence, and set students up for success after graduation.

Taylor Dunne from the San Diego Regional Economic Development Corporation explains how aligning these programs with local job data helps students train for careers that are actually in demand.
