What is BBRTCE?
The Bristol Bay Region Career & Technical Education program is a consortium of the four school districts within the Bristol Bay region. Bristol Bay Borough School District, Dillingham City School District, Lake & Peninsula School District, and Southwest Region School District work closely together to bring a quality career and technical education program to their students. BBRCTE offers career and community-focused education to help students plan for and work towards their career goals. BBRCTE’s education model includes a mix of distance and in-person courses. In-person courses are offered during four separate weeks of the year, while distance courses are offered periodically. Students that are selected for the in-person courses fly into the host community to attend courses.
