Career and technical education programs are rapidly integrating AI into curricula as districts and states retool CTE to prepare students for AI‑augmented workplaces. Surveys cited in the reporting show rising interest among educators and administrators in AI‑related skills, and districts are adding modules on prompt engineering, AI ethics and tool use to traditional CTE tracks. For higher‑education partners that recruit CTE graduates or run articulation agreements, the shift changes expectations about incoming student preparedness. Community colleges and teacher‑education programs should align credentials, update syllabi and negotiate credit pathways to capture students trained in AI‑infused CTE programs.
