What is CTAE?

Griffin-Spalding County’s Career, Technical & Agricultural Education (CTAE) program bridges the gap between high school and postsecondary plans by equipping students with the academic, employability, and technical skills needed for college, careers, and high-demand industries. With more than 20 career pathways available across middle school, high school, and postsecondary levels, students can earn industry credentials and build real-world readiness. Through our partnership with Southern Crescent Technical College, the Griffin Region College & Career Academy offers aligned programs that allow students to earn college credit, gain 21st-century skills, and complete technical certificates while still in high school. CTAE continues to grow and expand opportunities for our community, preparing college- and career-ready graduates and providing guidance and hands-on learning for all students.
