Fueling the future workforce
Career and Technical Education (CTE) offers students practical skills and knowledge to prepare them for success in the workforce and beyond. Through hands-on learning experiences, CTE programs like the Sioux City Career Academy equip students with the technical expertise, critical thinking abilities, and employability skills to thrive in a variety of career pathways.
The Sioux City Career Academy offers over 30 pathways for students to explore. By enrolling in the career academy, students benefit from both high school and college credits, at no cost to students or parents. Students from 10 schools in the tri-state area, including Iowa, South Dakota, and Nebraska, take advantage of courses at the career academy.
Preparing students for career and secondary education options
Sioux City Public Schools Foundation supports CTE through hands on equipment to enhance the student learning experience. The Foundation also provides professional development opportunities to engage teachers with the latest industry trends.
Gifts to the Foundation will further CTE in Sioux City and ensure students can obtain valuable skills to enter, compete, and advance in their education and career in the global workforce.
Annually, over 150 Sioux City Career Academy students participate in a work-based internship, adding valuable real-world experience to their resumes.
