AI Summary

This bill directs the Texas Education Agency (TEA) to conduct a comprehensive study on student participation in career and technology programs across five key industry sectors: Mobility & Transportation, Healthcare, Skilled Trades and Construction, Manufacturing, and Information Technology. The study will gather detailed data including regional industry demand, student enrollment in related courses, industry-based certification pursuits and completions, school district program offerings, students' post-graduation career and education pathways, middle and high school career exploration participation, and a list of postsecondary institutions offering related programs in each state region. The TEA is required to submit a report to the legislature by December 1, 2026, detailing the study's findings and recommendations. The bill will take effect either immediately upon receiving a two-thirds vote in the Texas legislature or on September 1, 2025, if that threshold is not met, and will automatically expire on September 1, 2027. The primary goal of this bill is to provide a comprehensive understanding of career and technology education programs in Texas and inform future educational and workforce development strategies.
