AI Summary

This bill aims to increase student access to career technical education (CTE) schools and programs that are aligned with regional labor market needs. It establishes an Office of Career Technical Education within the Department of Elementary and Secondary Education to improve and maximize CTE across the state. The bill also outlines several key provisions, including developing student credentials for CTE programs, ensuring instructor competence, utilizing pre- and post-assessments, supporting the use of industry-recognized credentials, and encouraging articulation agreements with community colleges and universities. Additionally, the bill requires the Office to work with Regional Workforce Boards to align CTE programs with local labor market demands and requires all comprehensive high schools to offer at least one CTE course or approved internship.
