Michigan CTE Core Performance Standards (CPIs)
The Michigan Career and Technical Education (CTE) Core Performance Indicators (CPIs) provide valuable insights into student outcomes across key areas such as graduation rates, academic proficiency, post-program placement, and credential attainment. These indicators help evaluate the effectiveness of CTE programs at various levels, including state, regional, and individual school buildings. Stakeholders can access detailed reports through the Michigan CTEIS system by selecting parameters such as region, program cluster, or specific institutions. These reports support data-driven decisions to enhance student success and program quality. To explore the data or generate a report, visit the Michigan CTE Reports Portal.
