Bill > J01484

This resolution, a formal request from the New York State Legislative Body, urges Governor Kathy Hochul to officially designate February 2026 as "Teach CTE Month" across the state. CTE stands for Career and Technical Education, which provides students with practical skills training and prepares them for specific occupations and future workforce demands. The resolution highlights the crucial role of CTE in equipping students with industry-recognized credentials, fostering higher graduation rates, and bridging the gap between available jobs and trained individuals in New York. It also acknowledges the dedication of CTE educators and organizations like the New York State Association for Career and Technical Education (NYSACTE) in developing a competitive workforce and emphasizes the need for increased investment and awareness of these vital educational programs.
