Notes

  • Program Details: CTECS schools dominate (17 total, all with construction options); Waterbury’s IMTI partnership (launched 2024) is a key NCCER hub, serving 3 high schools with 102-hour certifications for apprenticeships. Statewide, ~2,500 students enroll in construction CTE annually (CSDE 2024 data).
  • Coverage: Focus on public high schools; charters like Capital Prep Harbor in Bridgeport offer related trades but not full pathways.
  • Sources: CSDE CTE listings, CTECS program pages, NCCER news (e.g., IMTI Waterbury announcement), and district sites. For updates, contact CSDE CTE at cte@ct.gov or (860) 713-6774.
