CTECS operates 17 diploma‑granting technical high schools, one technical education center, and two airframe mechanics and aircraft maintenance programs.

CTECS serves approximately 11,200 full‑time high‑school students across 31 in‑demand CTE programs, providing hands‑on training in state‑of‑the‑art classrooms designed to mirror real‑world workplaces. Students follow a unique schedule alternating between career and technical education and traditional academics, ensuring they graduate with the knowledge and skills needed for success. Graduates earn a Connecticut high‑school diploma, CTE certificate in their field of study, and multiple stackable credentials giving them the “competitive edge.”

These credentials include, but are not limited to, state occupational licensure, national technical skill competency certifications, and industry‑recognized credentialing. Many students secure job placements before graduation, while others continue their education at colleges, universities, or registered apprenticeships.
