Texas CTE courses and TEA student certifications

The federal legislation that funds career and technical education (CTE), the Carl D. Perkins Career and Technical Education Act, was most recently reauthorized in 2018 as the Strengthening Career and Technical Education Act for the 21st Century (Perkins V). Its purpose is to develop more fully the academic knowledge and technical and employability skills of secondary and postsecondary students enrolled in CTE programs of study. A chief aim of the legislation is to teach students the skills they need to keep the United States competitive and enhance employment opportunities for special student populations.
