Career & Technical Education (CTE) programs give students the tools they need to explore their interests, learn to appreciate their talents, and prepare for brighter futures. The mission of CTE programming is strongly connected to the principles behind MooreCo’s Thrive Philosophy. Our research shows, for students to thrive, learning spaces should be designed and equipped to accommodate the six distinctive characteristics of human development.
MooreCo products are conducive to a flexible learning environment and adaptable to the rapidly changing needs of CTE programming and the ever-changing landscape of the professional world. These learning spaces pave the way for balanced, confident, healthy, and empowered graduates who will succeed in contributing to the workforce and their community. With MooreCo, go beyond the confines of traditional classroom design and empower students to imagine their future.

CTE courses provide a dynamic platform for young minds to explore and express their creativity, fostering critical and innovative thinking, visual literacy, and emotional intelligence. Students gain technical proficiency in areas such as graphic design, digital media applications, video, and animation. Beyond technical expertise, students learn how to convey their ideas, emotions, and messages visually. These advanced communication skills are transferable to other contexts, such as interpersonal skills, public speaking, and writing.
As students explore their individual talents and interests, they are engaging in self-expression and self-discovery. The creative process often requires perseverance and resilience, teaching students how to overcome challenges and embrace failure as a part of growth. Courses in the arts contribute significantly to the holistic development of students, preparing them for the multifaceted challenges of the workforce.
MooreCo offers products that respond to the rapidly changing needs of technology-focused classrooms. Furnishings adapt to support the latest hardware so students can stay connected.
