Many of the disciplines housed within the Barbara Lee Science and Allied Health Center are considered Career and Technical Education (CTE) programs. These programs and course offerings give students the opportunity to learn the modern technologies, skilled trades, and applied sciences that are most likely to lead to high-demand employment. Their hands-on learning experiences with industry specific technology, tools, and equipment prepare them for jobs in growth industries now and in the future.
