Bill > H1456

This bill allows Massachusetts community colleges to apply for grant funding through the Career Technical Initiative (CTI), which is operated by the Commonwealth Corporation. The purpose of these grants is to develop industry-recognized credentialing pathways specifically designed for adult learners in technical and trade fields, with courses to be offered during evening hours. The bill stipulates that community college-based career technical institutes must meet the same approval standards as career technical institutes located in vocational technical schools, and ensures that these community college programs will be included in all reports related to the Career Technical Initiative. By enabling community colleges to participate in this initiative, the bill aims to expand educational and career development opportunities for adult learners seeking technical and trade-related credentials.
