February is Career & Technical Education (CTE) Month!
We’re proud to celebrate Career & Technical Education as a critical part of Maryland’s education ecosystem and Pillar 3 of the Blueprint — equipping students with real-world skills, credentials, and pathways to rewarding careers.

The Blueprint-aligned modernized CTE framework touches nearly half of Maryland’s students — with more than 136,000 learners enrolled in CTE courses and over 45,000 concentrators completing pathways that lead to credentials, college credit, and workplace readiness.
These milestones reflect growing demand for CTE seats and increased emphasis on credentials that matter to students and employers alike — from industry certifications to apprenticeships and work-based learning experiences.
We celebrate CTE Month by recognizing the educators, partners, and students making these pathways possible — aligning education with careers and strengthening Maryland’s economic future.
