Perkins funding

On July 31, 2018, the President signed the Strengthening Career and Technical Education for the 21st Century Act into law. This bill reauthorizes the Carl D. Perkins Career and Technical Education Act of 2006 (Perkins IV) and is more commonly referred to as Perkins V.

Perkins V reflects the 100-year federal commitment to Career Technical Education (CTE) by providing federal support for CTE programs and focuses on improving the academic and technical achievement of CTE students, strengthening the connections between secondary and postsecondary education and improving accountability. Perkins V affords states and local communities the opportunity to implement a vision for CTE that uniquely supports the range of educational needs of students — exploration through career preparation — and balances those student needs with the current and emerging needs of the economy.

Vision

Through ongoing peer-to-peer collaboration, technical assistance, training, and professional development, the Office of Career and Technical Education (CTE) strives to support educational institutions delivering quality CTE training pathway programs that lead to high-skill, high-wage, in-demand or emerging occupations. 


Mission

Provide leadership, guidance, oversight, and technical assistance to career and technical education programs, as well as other federal programs.
