About CTESoft LLC

We exist to make CTE programs run better — so students can thrive

CTESoft was founded by a team that has spent years in and around Career and Technical Education. We saw the gap between what schools needed and what software was available. So we built it ourselves.

Built by people who understand CTE from the inside

CTESoft LLC was founded in Aurora, Colorado with one goal: give Career and Technical Education programs the modern, purpose-built tools they have long deserved. We are a team of software builders, educators, and workforce development professionals who were tired of seeing CTE directors manage critical programs through stacked spreadsheets, disconnected apps, and overflowing binders.

The students in these programs are earning real credentials and developing real skills. They deserve a system that honors that. The educators running these programs are doing extraordinary work — coordinating with dozens of employers, managing hundreds of student records, satisfying state and federal reporting requirements, and still showing up to teach every day.

We asked ourselves a simple question: what would the ideal CTE platform look like if it was designed specifically for CTE, rather than adapted from something built for general school management? CTESoft is our answer to that question.

The principles behind every decision we make

01
Students First, Always

Every feature we build traces back to one question: does this help a student access a better career pathway? If the answer is no, we don't build it.

02
Purpose-Built, Not Repurposed

CTE has unique requirements — WBL tracking, competency-based grading, employer relations, Perkins reporting. We don't force CTE into a general school software mold.

03
Simplicity Over Complexity

Instructors are not IT professionals. Our platform is designed to be so intuitive that anyone on your team can use it without extensive training or technical support.

04
Partnership, Not Just Software

We are with you through onboarding, training, and ongoing support. We listen to our users constantly because the best ideas for our platform come from the people using it every day.

05
Compliance Without Stress

Perkins V accountability, TCPA-compliant messaging, FERPA-appropriate data handling — we take compliance seriously so program directors don't have to lose sleep over it.

06
Data You Can Trust

Decisions about students and programs deserve accurate data. We build our tracking and reporting tools to give you reliable, real-time information you can confidently act on.
