Welcome to the Career and Technical Education Division

Programs listed under the Career and Technical Education Division at Arizona Western College are designed to prepare you for a high-skill, high-wage, high-demand career in the real world. Labor market date indicated that 65 percent of jobs in today's workforce are classified as "skilled and technical." Jobs in this classification require training beyond high school but do not necessarily require a four-year degree. Choosing a Career and Technical Education program at AWC means you can be on your way to a new career - or better position in your current field - in two years or less.

Our CTE programs combine educational opportunities and preparing for a career. The classroom experience provides you with skills that enable you to walk out of the classroom and into the workforce. Our Career and Technical Education programs also build critical thinking and communication skills valued by employers. With more than 50 combined degrees and occupation certificates to choose from AWC has something for everyone - no matter what your interests are.

Whether you are just leaving high school and beginning to explore your career goals or if you are an adult looking to upgrade your skills to make a career change, we invite you to explore the various programs offered by the Career and Technical Education Division at AWC and discover the pathway to your future.
