Description of the Indicator
This indicator shows the enrollment in Career and Technical Schools (CTC) in Lackawanna and Luzerne Counties. These schools offer part-time and comprehensive experiences. Wayne and Wyoming Counties do not have their own CTC; however, the districts work to provide some CTC training. The shares of enrollees who complete work-based learning experiences, earn industry-recognized credentials, and score competent or advanced on their credentialing exams are provided as well.

Career and technical education information offers insight into potential workforce needs (or strengths) associated with pathways available at CTCs.
