The Tucson High Career and Technical Education (CTE) programs are part of the Pima County Joint Technological Education District (JTED). These programs are two-to-four year career preparation programs. Four programs are offered off-site and have special requirements for enrollment. A few programs are available at other high schools.

Programs are offered in most of the 14 career clusters that will help students discover exciting career paths. The current career area offerings within the clusters are: Accounting & Related Services; Allied Health Services; Audiovisual Technology; Automotive Technologies; Biomedical Health, Technologies; Business, Management and Administrative Services; Engineering Sciences; Financial Services; Graphic Communications; Industrial Manufacturing; Information Technology; Marketing, Management & Entrepreneurship; Performing Arts and Welding Technology.

In addition, several programs offer internships, apprenticeships or service learning opportunities (by instructor recommendation) which allow students to experience professions first hand. Internship, apprenticeship or service learning programs are individually crafted, paid or unpaid experiences aligned with student interest and abilities, allowing students to experience the value of work, develop pride in work and mature personally.
