If you’re a high school sophomore or junior looking to get jump on college or a chosen career, there’s no better place to start than the Canyons Technical Education Center (CTEC).
From health sciences and business leadership to engineering, digital media, and construction, CTEC offers hands-on programs that prepare students for immediate entry into high-wage, high-demand fields.
