Other eligibility requirements are that the senior must have earned a course grade average of 3.0 or better throughout their pathway and have a Gmail account to complete the application.

CTE courses are available at the above nine school districts that make up the Mountain Desert Career Pathways district.

High school students can take courses that lead to careers in agriculture, construction, energy, engineering, media, business, education, fashion, health, tourism, information technology, manufacturing, marketing, public service and transportation.

Mountain Desert Career Pathways provides additional resources while students complete their coursework.
