Alief ISD continues to give us all a lesson in what emphasizing professional growth does for students. Their career and technical education programs truly give young driven adults outlets to shine.

Students enrolled in these programs have the opportunity to start gaining hands-on experience before they graduate! One valuable program Alief offers is an award-worthy cosmetology program with cutting-edge equipment, professional instructors, and the opportunity to earn a Level II certification, which will help students get jobs in this field in the future. Even better, Cosmetology students who earn two years of credit pass with a license for the profession.


Another unique program that offers an immense amount of advancement is the Business, Marketing, and Finance career cluster, where students acquire the skills to work in management, accounting, insurance operations, real estate–and more. Students regularly earn certifications usable for future careers like the Life & Health Certification, where students are equipped to help clients in their insurance futures. All of these programs will go on to help students greatly, because Alief cares about professional growth.
