What We’re All About Career Technical Instruction Support Services The Career Technical Instruction support services are designed to support students with disabilities enrolled in a career, technical and agricultural education. The goal of the secondary (grades 9-12) level support services are to provide these students with employment opportunities at the completion of their career, technical and agricultural experience. The role of the CTI Coordinator is to provide resource assistance to students with disabilities served under the Individuals with Disabilities Act (IDEA) in the Career, Technical, and Agricultural courses and to coordinate the services needed for the learner to acquire his/her goals as they pursuit for post-secondary outcomes. Objectives:
