Career and Technical Education Endorsement Crosswalk

This webpage provides the career and technical education (CTE) endorsement chart for current and previous endorsements no longer issued. Candidates who hold any endorsement under the "Previous Endorsement Title and Code" column are grandfathered into the "Current Endorsement Title and Code" column and are eligible to teach in CTE programs of study. If your endorsement does not appear on the crosswalk, then your CTE endorsement was not grandfathered. Contact the Office of Career Readiness for information.

Candidates who hold previous endorsements do not need to apply for current endorsement titles unless specified in the tables.
