CTE in NSERVE High Schools

NSERVE manages grants received through the Illinois State Board of Education for a variety of Career and Technical Education (CTE) courses in high schools.

These experiential classes give students an opportunity to gain real-world experience in a career pathway that interests them.

Many high school courses also qualify for dual credit with Oakton College.

This college-level credit sets students up for their post-secondary studies and may be transferable to other colleges.
