Approximately 450 students from over 12 area high schools are chosen to enroll in the career programs at CTC each year.  These students will learn new skills that jump-start their college careers or give them a head start in the workplace.  To be one of the chosen students, please follow the admission criteria below:

Interested students may contact their high school counselor for an application to the CTC. Once complete, the application must be signed by the high school counselor and a parent/guardian.  Students attending private or home schools must enroll through the school district in which they live.  

Students who have missed ten days of school or less in an academic school year are given priority.  Students with ten or more absences must submit an attendance history with their application. 

Also, students with two or fewer discipline referrals in an academic school year are given priority. Students with more than two discipline referrals must submit a discipline history with their application.

Prospective students are also encouraged to take the Career Cluster Inventory on the Missouri Connections website and provide the results from the inventory on their application. 

Start your future at the Cape Girardeau Career & Technology Center!
