Bill Summary
A resolution supporting the goals and ideals of "Career and Technical Education Month".
AI Summary
This resolution supports the designation of February 2025 as "Career and Technical Education Month" and highlights the critical importance of Career and Technical Education (CTE) in the United States. The resolution emphasizes that CTE is essential for maintaining American competitiveness in the global economy, with projections showing that nearly one-third of jobs by 2031 will require some postsecondary education but less than a bachelor's degree. It notes that over 11.1 million students are currently enrolled in CTE programs across various educational institutions, and these programs provide valuable skills alignment with labor market demands. The resolution underscores the significant positive impacts of CTE, including improved academic achievement, high school completion rates, and employability skills, with a national survey revealing that 94 percent of parents and voters support increased workforce training opportunities. Additionally, the resolution recognizes the historical significance of CTE, referencing the 1917 Smith-Hughes Vocational Education Act and the 2018 bipartisan legislation supporting CTE programs. By supporting this resolution, the Senate encourages educators, counselors, administrators, and parents to promote CTE as a respected and valuable educational pathway for students.
