About CTEC

CTEC is dedicated to preparing students for successful careers through hands-on job education and industry-recognized certifications. As an NEISD magnet school program, CTEC provides training in Diesel Technology, Construction/Carpentry, Electrical Systems, HVAC, Plumbing, Welding, and healthcare fields such as Emergency Medical Technician, Certified Nurse Aide, Dental Assistant, Medical Assistant, and Pharmacy Technician. Our mission is to give students real-world learning experiences that build the skills and knowledge needed for success. Those who complete their program requirements can earn industry certifications at no cost, helping them enter the workforce with the credentials needed for entry-level positions.

Transportation

NEISD Transportation provides shuttle busses from all seven comprehensive high schools for students to participate in CTEC coursework. Upon the completion of each CTEC class, shuttle buses will return students to their comprehensive high school. Students may utilize their own transportation methods, provided they meet NEISD and CTEC requirements. Parents/guardians may drop and pick up their student before and after school. 

When are Classes Offered

Classes are offered three times each school day to permit flexibility in a student’s schedule. Students who attend CTEC during the early or late class may need to arrange for alternate transportation plans in order to participate. These students will not be able to rely on school bus between the high school campus and student’s residence due to shuttle bus departure times.
