Strengthening Career and Technical Education for the 21st Century
The Strengthening Career and Technical Education for the 21st Century Act—commonly known as Perkins V—is a federal law that provides funding to support and improve career technical education (CTE) programs nationwide. In Idaho, the Idaho Division of Career Technical Education distributes funds to eligible local education agencies and Idaho’s technical colleges.
What does Perkins V do?
Perkins V helps us prepare Idaho’s youth and adults for high-skill, in-demand careers by investing in high-quality CTE programs. These programs allow students to explore, choose, and complete career pathways that lead to valuable credentials.
Perkins funds support local projects that enhance and expand CTE offerings. Each project is based on needs identified in a Comprehensive Local Needs Assessment (CLNA). Overall performance is measured by student outcomes.
Perkins V represents an important opportunity to expand opportunities for every student to explore, choose, and follow career and technical education programs of study and career pathways to earn credentials of value.
