Weld RE-5J School District Enhances Student Futures with Hands-On CTE Programs:

Weld RE-5J School District’s Career and Technical Education (CTE) Pathways provide students with hands-on, real-world experiences to prepare them for diverse futures, including college, trade school, apprenticeships, or industry certifications. These programs, from elementary through high school, blend academic knowledge with technical skills for high-demand industries. The district collaborates with educational and industry bodies to align its CTE programs with workforce needs, offer comprehensive career guidance, ensure equitable access, and employ certified instructors.

Many Pathway Options:

There are 14 different CTE pathways at Roosevelt High School, while the Middle School Exploratory program at the middle school serves to support a variety of those pathways.  This allows students to explore multiple CTE pathways and participate in more than one as they determine which pathway is their passion! 

Middle school and the high school teachers collaborate with their shared Advisory Boards to ensure Weld RE 5J students engage in aligned, high quality CTE programs.  Our students benefit from our teachers’ expertise and the support and partnerships we have with local businesses and organizations. 

CTE Advisory Board:

Each advisory committee is made up of individuals with experience and expertise in the occupational field(s) that the program serves who advise educators on the design, development, implementation, evaluation, maintenance, and revision of Career and Technical Education (CTE) programs within a career pathway. An advisory committee is required for every approved career and technical education (CTE) program in Colorado as it is considered to be an invaluable part of the program, and ultimately, the student’s success in a given career path.Each individual student in the district will have a 4 year academic and career plan, based on interest and aptitude.
