Setting Our Students Up for Success

Our different programs meet different student needs. For example, our Career Technical Education courses allow students to gain real-world job experience while exploring industries, and Dual Enrollment provides an opportunity to earn college credit while still in high school. Regardless of a student’s post-grad desires, Downey Unified is here to help prepare them and set them up for success.

Career Technical Education

CTE courses let students explore industries through hands-on learning while gaining real-world skills. Many courses offer certificates, college credit, or internships.
