About Teachers of Technological Education

Teachers of Technological Education are intermediate and senior division teachers who are qualified to teach one or more Technological Education subjects in the Ontario curriculum. These are offered at high schools that teach students about skilled trades while also teaching academic subjects. Students who graduate from a Technological Education program can study at a college or university, or they can pursue an apprenticeship in a skilled trade.

To find out more about trades in Ontario, see the Ontario Ministry of Training, Colleges and Universities website.
