The Common Career Technical Core (CCTC) are a set of rigorous, high-quality benchmark standards for Career Technical Education (CTE), the result of a state-led initiative. The goal of the CCTC is to provide students with the knowledge and skills needed to thrive in a global economy. The CCTC includes a set of end-of-program of study standards for each of the 16 Career Clusters® and their 79 Career Pathways, as well as an overarching set of Career Ready Practices, which address the knowledge, skills and dispositions that are important to becoming career ready.
