Career and Technical Education Center (CTEC) at Fairplex provides career and technical education in a hands-on learning environment. Students are taught by both professional educators and people working in industry in our “classroom without walls” on the Fairplex grounds. They learn at the work site as well as in the classroom, building a strong foundation of work skills. CTEC operates under the auspices of the Los Angeles County Fair Association in partnership with Fairplex Education Foundation, a 501(c)(3) nonprofit foundation.
