» Responsibilities of the Office of Career and Technical Education

Want to know more about what’s really involved in education and training for a specific job? Looking for help in preparing for a career? Need assistance in locating resources to help you explore different types of industries and occupations? Need information about charter schools, advanced placement, teacher recruitment, Troops to Teachers or inter-district public school choice? Or perhaps you need to know what opportunities are available in your chosen profession? You’ve come to the right place!

The New Jersey Department of Education’s Office of Career and Technical Education is responsible for implementation of the state's comprehensive career guidance and counseling system in partnership with the Department of Labor and Workforce Development. This means that we provide programs and services to schools in New Jersey to assist individuals in preparing for life after high school, whether it’s college, the military, or going directly to work. This site has been created especially for students, their parents, all teachers, and New Jersey employers to explain some of the ways we can help.

If you need more information, we’d be happy to hear from you. Simply contact our office at (609) 633-0665, or via email at vocinfo@doe.state.nj.us
