Career and Technical Education, formerly known as Vocational Education, is focused on providing programs and activities geared towards integrating rigorous academics with career information and preparation. The CNMI Public School System is committed to providing all students with high quality education. According to a recent press release, the federal government has dedicated over 30 billion dollars in grants to address college affordability and improve access to higher education. During these tough economic times, it is vital for the CNMI to work together in collaboration to provide education through work, about work, and for work for all students.
