Alternative Cooperative Education (ACE)

Alternative Cooperative Education (ACE) CTE is a multi-occupational pathway that facilitates individualized, developmentally appropriate programming necessary to support CTE students successfully.

ACE programming is developed through collaboration with educators, business representatives and community stakeholders. The collaboration creates locally responsive, relevant work- and school-based learning experiences.

ACE CTE students will demonstrate competency in postsecondary workforce readiness (PWR) that leads to technical skill attainment in any chosen occupation with a focus on higher-wage occupations and skills in high-demand industries that promote self-sufficiency.
