All Career-Technical teachers must be licensed by the State of Ohio. Teachers with academic licenses must add a Career Technical teaching field code specific to the trade area they teach through the KSU Career-Technical Educator licensure program.
The primary path to becoming a licensed teacher in a Career Technical trade area is through the 2-Year Provisional or One-Year Supplemental licensure path.. Each path offers specific licenses. Work experience and/or teaching experience is the employment criteria. This option requires a teacher to be hired by a school district into a teaching position in their trade area then joining the KSU CTE licensure program.

Many programs prepare students for initial entry into a specific occupation. In addition, some programs prepare students for further post-secondary study. These programs are referred to as Tech Prep.
