Academic Assistance
The Career & Technical Education (CTE) Student Support Team delivers services designed to help students enrolled in the college's career and technical programs earn better grades, remain in school, and graduate with the skills necessary to pursue employment in current or emerging high-priority technical professions. CCAC's technical programs include diploma, certificate and associate degree programs that combine challenging academic and technical courses to prepare students for the workforce.
The CTE Student Support Team helps students navigate their way through the college experience while developing their academic and personal skills. We also connect students with a host of other free college services to help them achieve their academic goals.

Workshops & Presentations
The Career & Technical Education Student Support Team is available to conduct classroom workshops or presentations at faculty request. Topics can vary from a general introduction to CTE student services to specific workshops for developing academic skills, including time management and effective study habits. Please feel free to contact us with a request—if we don't already have a workshop or presentation built for your requested topic, we'll develop one!

Nontraditional Career Students
The CTE Student Support Team works to support gender equity across all career pathways, including "nontraditional careers." Nontraditional careers are those occupations in which one gender comprises less than 25% of the current workforce. For example, Health Information Technology careers are primarily held by women, whereas software development and union trades occupations are typically held by men. There are many reasons why a student might pursue a nontraditional career:
- Higher wage potential and benefits that contribute to economic self-sufficiency
- The satisfaction of choosing a career based on skills, aptitudes, interests and abilities rather than conforming to gender norms
- Greater opportunities for employment and advancement
Talk to us about the benefits of choosing a nontraditional career path.

Perkins Career & Technical Education Grant
The CTE Student Support Team is funded by the federal Perkins Career & Technical Education Grant. The Perkins Grant provides funding to CCAC for student support staff, instructional equipment and professional development to help Career & Technical Education students earn better grades, remain in school, and graduate with the skills necessary to pursue employment in current or emerging high priority technical professions while supporting gender equity across all career pathways.
Due to federal grant guidelines, the CTE Student Support Team cannot assist students with developmental coursework. Furthermore, the Perkins Grant does not provide funds directly to students, but instead funds initiatives designed to help Career & Technical Education students succeed.
