Career and technical education covers a variety of fields. Most students in this program are teachers, either at the secondary school level (high schools or career and technical centers), the post secondary level (community college instructors), or in industry (as industrial trainers.) They teach in "trade and industry" areas, such as auto body repair, drafting, heating ventilating and air conditioning, carpentry, welding, plumbing, and many more. They prepare their students for specific occupations.
