CTE Prep

The Future of Skilled Work Starts in Middle School

Build the Mathematical Foundation Students Need to Pursue Career Opportunities with Confidence

America needs more skilled workers, and students need more pathways to rewarding careers. But too many students reach high school without the foundational math skills they need to succeed in career and technical education (CTE). MobyMax CTE Prep solves the foundational knowledge gap.

Student exploring career and technical education opportunities

Career readiness shouldn't start in high school.

Middle school is an opportunity to connect academic learning with a future students can imagine for themselves. When students effectively obtain foundational knowledge to see how math applies to building, repairing, measuring, and solving real-world problems, learning becomes more relevant. Parents see the value, too: time spent preparing for a good job is an investment in their child's future.

CTE Prep is a new curriculum designed for workforce readiness, helping students develop the foundational math skills they will need for career-focused learning.

Student preparing for a career opportunity

The students who need opportunity most may be the least prepared to take it.

Too many students headed toward CTE enter high school without the math skills they need. These students don't lack potential; they lack the foundation to pursue it.

If current approaches continue to leave these gaps unaddressed, we risk limiting career opportunities for the very students who could benefit most from them, overlooking those who need the most support to get there.

Student building foundational math skills

Foundational math is workforce preparation.

Students pursuing skilled careers need to work confidently with fractions, ratios, measurements, and problem-solving. MobyMax CTE Prep targets these foundational skills, helping middle school students build the readiness and confidence to tackle more advanced learning.

Students strengthen what they know, address gaps in what they don't, and build the confidence to tackle more advanced learning.

Student learning math with a practical purpose

Make room for learning that has a purpose.

Districts must improve math achievement while preparing students for life after graduation. CTE Prep gives schools a practical way to address foundational gaps and support stronger academic performance.

The need is significant enough to justify dedicated time during the school day. Its career-focused approach also makes CTE Prep a natural fit for after-school programs, summer learning, and extended instruction.

Student building a foundation for future opportunities

Build the foundation. Expand the opportunity.

MobyMax CTE Prep is designed to strengthen foundational math skills, support improved test scores, and better prepare students for high school and future careers.

Transforming high school education starts before students arrive. By connecting middle school math to meaningful career opportunities, we can help more students see a future worth working toward, and build the skills to pursue that future.

Students learning together with additional support

Extend the impact of SPED and MTSS.

Schools already dedicate significant time and resources to supporting students who struggle academically. MobyMax CTE Prep offers a way to connect that investment to a goal students and families can see: building the math skills needed for future career opportunities.

For students receiving special education services or additional support through MTSS, CTE Prep can provide targeted practice in foundational math skills while reinforcing broader academic goals.
