The non-degree licensure program in Career and Technical Education (CTE) prepares leaders who are concerned with education and training that enables youth and adults to pursue their careers who also wish to become licensed in the state of Indiana as a Director of Career and Technical Education.
An applicant needs to have one of the following to be eligible for the Director of CTE license. Candidates must hold one of the following licenses:
- (A) An initial, standard, provisional, proficient, or accomplished practitioner license with at least one (1) of the content areas in career and technical education.
