Career and Technical Education

Round Rock ISD wants to ensure that every student is ready for the next step after high school, whether it is college, career or military service.

Career & Technical Education helps prepare students who want to embark on a career trajectory while still in high school. Students can choose from almost 30 pathways.

Some pathways can result in industry certifications while still in high school; others provide early credit toward a post-secondary degree; and still others provide the opportunity to connect with future employers through job shadowing and internships.
