How CTE Fits at Come Back

How CTE Fits at Come Back

At Come Back Butte Charter School, students are supported in earning a high school diploma or equivalent and in preparing for the next step—employment, career training, or higher education.
 
Career Technical Education (CTE) is one option some students may explore as part of that journey. CTE opportunities are offered through Butte County ROP and focus on hands-on learning and real-world skill development.
 
CTE may be a good fit for students who:
  • Are focused on completing their diploma or equivalent
  • Are motivated by hands-on, applied learning
  • Want to explore career options while finishing school
  • Are ready for the structure and expectations of an off-site program
 
Participation in CTE is optional and explored individually with Come Back staff.

📌 Transportation to Butte County ROP courses in Chico is available upon request.
