CTEC (Career and Technical Education Center) is a specialized educational facility that focuses on providing students with hands-on, career-focused training in various Pathways in technical and vocational fields NOT offered at their home school site.
The EBR Career & Technical Education Center (CTEC) prepares students for the challenge of postsecondary education and a globally competitive workforce. We achieve this through quality academic instruction, hands-on training in a small group environment, and internships with our partners in business, industry and the community. CTEC provides training by master trainers and technicians in the manufacturing, construction crafts, health care and information technology fields. All EBR CTEC programs provide opportunities for students to earn advanced industry-based credentials and college credit. This specialized program allows students to earn industry-based certification and college credits toward an associate degree.
CTEC is a regional center that accepts students from high schools across the capital region and provides them with a 2-3 year education experience that provides our high school graduates with more than a diploma. CTEC students are prepared to take and earn Industry-Based Certifications (IBCs) and dual enrollment credits toward an associate degree through BRCC. Students at CTEC get to enjoy the traditional high school experience through their homeschool and spend half a day (either A or B Day) at the state-of-the-art Career and Technical Education Center located on Lobdell Blvd. CTEC students are given access to training labs and instructors that have industry experience.
The East Baton Rouge Parish School System is advising families that school bus transportation may experience delays during the Friday afternoon commute home because of weather and road conditions across the parish. Transportation staff members are working to safely transport students while navigating possible heavy traffic, flooded areas and impacted roadways caused by
changing weather conditions.
District officials said student safety remains the top priority as drivers continue routes throughout the parish. The district appreciates the understanding and cooperation of families and the community during the weather event.
