Career Readiness: Preparing Knights for What’s Next.
At Bishop Luers High School, preparing students for life beyond graduation means helping them discover their strengths, explore their interests, and gain real-world experience before they leave high school.
Bishop Luers is excited to expand our Career & Technical Education (CTE) and Career Readiness opportunities, giving juniors and seniors the chance to experience hands-on learning in a variety of career fields. Through specialized coursework, practical training, and career-focused experiences, students can begin exploring potential professions while developing valuable skills for college, the workforce, and beyond.
Whether a student is interested in healthcare, education, skilled trades, technology, business, or another career pathway, our goal is to help every Knight connect what they learn in the classroom with meaningful opportunities for their future.
