CTE Pathways 

Utica CSD is implementing a systematic approach for career development starting with CTE career awareness and exploration with grades K-6.  The middle school will implement CTE modules for grades 7-8 that represent 16 national career clusters as a way to introduce students to the high school CTE pathways that were determined by local stakeholders. K-8 career development will vertically align to the high school options that are offered at Proctor High School. Early exposure to career readiness initiatives K-12 will prepare students with the skills and knowledge to make informed choices about their future as they prepare to enter the workforce and/or enter higher education. 

Current NYSED Approved Pathways 

New Pathways Starting Fall 2025

*UCSD will offer all Career and Technical Education opportunities without regard to race, color, national origin, sex, or disability. The District will also take steps to assure that the lack of English language skills will not be a barrier to admission and participation in Career and Technical Education programs.
