career tech
Workforce preparation education
Career tech is short for career and technical education—vocational training that prepares students for specific trades or occupations rather than traditional academic paths.
Programs cover fields like healthcare, automotive repair, information technology, and skilled trades: She enrolled in career tech to become a dental hygienist.
The term appears most often in educational contexts, particularly for high school programs that offer hands-on job training alongside regular coursework.
