What Is JTED?

JTED is an abbreviation for Joint Technical Education District. The program provides Career and Technical Education (CTE) courses for students within seven individual school districts (Western Yavapai County): Ash Fork, Bagdad, Chino Valley, Humboldt, Mayer, Prescott and Seligman. These districts have access to additional funding once they come together and form JTED. This funding will provide students access from all districts to Career and Technical Education courses that is significantly greater than any individual district can provide. JTED will only add courses; it is designed to retain all current vocational courses offered by each internal district.  Click here to read more about Mountain Institute JTED.
