Bill > HR97

This resolution recognizes the week of May 4-10, 2025, as "Career and Technology Week" and May 7, 2025, as "National Skilled Trades Day" in Pennsylvania, highlighting the critical importance of career and technical education (CTE) in preparing students for diverse career pathways. The resolution emphasizes that Pennsylvania has over 80 career and technical education centers offering programs that equip students with essential skills in industries like healthcare, information technology, manufacturing, construction, and public services. It acknowledges the state's significant shortage of skilled workers and underscores how CTE programs are crucial for sustaining and growing the state's economy. By aligning "Career and Technology Week" with "National Skilled Trades Day," the resolution aims to create a unified statewide celebration that honors educators, students, and professionals in technical and skilled trades fields, while also encouraging students to explore diverse career opportunities and bridging the gap between education and industry.
