Our Career and Technical Education (CTE) Pathways in the Transportation, Distribution, and Logistics CTE Cluster lead to a credential for employment (certificate, diploma, or degree).
Prepare for a career in repairing or maintaining the vehicles, trains, planes, and ships that move people and products. You might also might work behind the scenes to make sure the products and people get to the right place on time.
