CTE Capstone
In the CTE Business Capstone course, students apply the knowledge and skills gained from previous business and CTE coursework to design and complete a real-world, business-based project. Working closely with the instructor as a mentor, students will identify a problem or opportunity and develop an innovative project that creates value for others. Projects may focus on solving a business or community issue, launching a service initiative, or developing a business-related solution that benefits the school community, local community, or international community.
Throughout the course, students will conduct research, create business plans or proposals, and implement their projects while demonstrating professional communication, collaboration, and leadership skills. This capstone experience encourages creativity, critical thinking, and social responsibility as students prepare for college, careers, and entrepreneurship.
