Mountain Institute JTED

Mountain Institute CTED provides enhanced Career and Technical Education (CTE) courses for students concurrently attending high school. These courses are designed to help students compete in today’s highly skilled workforce by preparing them for industry certifications and conferring college credits in diverse program areas. CTED is an abbreviation for Career Technical Education District. Currently, there are thirteen CTEDs throughout the state of Arizona. The Mountain Institute CTED functions as an independent school district with its own elected governing board, known as “Mountain Institute.” The Mountain Institute (MI) CTED was approved by voters in the November 2008 general election and began classes in August for the 2009-2010 school year. Mountain Institute CTED provides CTE courses for students within seven individual school districts (Western Yavapai County): Ash Fork, Bagdad, Chino Valley, Humboldt, Mayer, Prescott and Seligman. These districts have access to additional funding as part of the CTED. This funding provides students access from all districts to Career and Technical Education courses that is significantly greater than any individual district can provide. Charter school and home school students are also encouraged to participate in Mountain Institute CTED programs.
