CHESTERFIELD CAREER AND TECHNICAL CENTER AT COURTHOUSE

The Chesterfield Career and Technical Center (CCTC) at Courthouse is a specialized educational facility designed to bridge the gap between traditional high school curriculum and real-world professional application. Operating as part of the Chesterfield County Public Schools system, the center provides students with hands-on training in a variety of technical and trade-based fields.

The Courthouse campus offers a diverse array of specialized programs, ranging from skilled trades like welding, automotive technology, and culinary arts to healthcare professions and information technology. The curriculum is structured to mimic professional work environments, emphasizing both the technical proficiencies and the "soft skills"—such as teamwork, problem-solving, and professional ethics—that are essential in today’s economy. By providing access to high-level equipment and instruction from industry experts, the CCTC at Courthouse serves as a vital resource for students looking to explore career pathways, gain early college credits, and gain a clear vision for their professional futures.
