Program Overview

The FCSS Designated Subjects Career Technical Education Credential Program is designed for new teachers from industry or experienced teachers to earn their DS CTE Credential. Unlike single-subject or multiple subject credentials, candidates qualify for their preliminary credential based upon their industry work experience in at least one of the 15 industry sectors.  Once the preliminary credential is issued, the candidate must complete required coursework and two years of teaching to clear the credential.

Our program is a blended program with online coursework and some face-to-face instruction in the curriculum and instruction course. Once enrolled, our program provides mentors to our candidates for support in the classroom. With coursework and in-person support, we believe candidates will gain the knowledge and skills to become effective CTE teachers.
