Georgia Business Education Association

Congratulations to the following schools for completing Industry Certification!

The graduation rate for Georgia students involved in Career, Technical, and Agricultural Education (CTAE) has risen to 97.75%.

This rate – which applies to students who complete a Career Pathway – exceeds the overall state graduation rate by 13.35 percentage points, underscoring the relevance and effectiveness of CTAE opportunities. The 2022 CTAE graduation rate was 97.12%.

“Career, Technical, and Agricultural Education exemplifies our mission of preparing all students for life,” State School Superintendent Richard Woods said. “The graduation rate for students who engage in CTAE opportunities continues to show how these programs engage students in their education and prepare them for their next steps after high school. We will continue to invest in CTAE and the relevant, industry-recognized skills it provides for our students.”

Be sure to join us on Monday, June 10 - there will be over 10 round tables with lots of resources for your classroom and FBLA!
