Career and Technical Education (Public LEAs Only)
The Student Career and Technical Education (CTE) Program Association represents the career and technical education programs that a student engages with or receives services from. This association is a specialized extension of the /StudentProgramAssociation, specifically tailored for CTE programs.
Effective in the 2026–27 school year, CTE data collection is streamlined. The studentCTEProgramAssociation endpoint will be used only to report grades for students earning an Industry Recognized Credential (IRC).
CTE data is NOT expected from Choice schools.

Use Case Title Use Case Description What to Submit/retrieve 1.0 Reporting Industry Recognized Credentials (IRC) Industry Recognized Credentials (IRC) can be reported at either the section or student levels. IRCs differ from courses because they don’t end with a single outcome and include licenses, certifications, and certificates across careers. Students can earn them through High School CTE programs, colleges, training centers, or online. Reporting Requirements Student participation in a CE program is reported on /Section.

When a course is identified as part of a CE program, it is not necessary for all students taking the course to be participating in the program. Consequently, DPI expects SIS/LEA to transmit student participation in a program using the /studentsectionAssociation. These career education programs differ from courses in that they don't have a definitive outcome at the end of a single course. Instead, they represent a combination of courses taken over multiple years, which is why a career education program has a Certificated Program Status. Therefore, student participation is reported on /studentSectionAssociation, while the student's certificated program status is reported on /studentCTEProgramAssociation.

This calculation looks for Grade level of students between 9-12
Has at least one /studentSectionAssociation for the CTE course. That means the student is sitting in at least one CTE course offered by the LEA.

For a student who is CTE concentrator also submit the Program Area participation and career pathway Student is always a concentrator in a specific pathway. LEA make sure to identify the career pathway of the student. More than one Program Area can be reported for the CTE concentrators Note : Please confirm the latest CTE concentrator definition with Jessie Sloan Via API submit /SCTEPA {

The local course title matches with non CTE DPI course but CTE licensed teachers are teaching the course so LEA is offering the course as CTE. In this case LEA still has to pick a CTE course that matches the description of the local course offered. We are only spinning the CTE courses to have non CTE identification code not the other way around. 18.3 Vendors who are pulling courses from API Vendors pulling courses from API need to make sure that new Roster courses code are populated in their SIS with the new identification code
