The Strengthening Career and Technical Education for the 21st Century Act (Perkins V) requires states to create sequences of academic and Career Technical Education (CTE) coursework to assist students to attain a postsecondary degree or industry-recognized certificate or credential, otherwise known as programs of study (POS).
Career Technical Education (CTE) provides students of all ages with the academic and technical skills, knowledge and training necessary to succeed in future careers and to become lifelong learners. In total, about 12 million high school and college students are enrolled in CTE across the nation. CTE prepares these learners for the world of work by introducing them to workplace competencies, and makes academic content accessible to students by providing it in a hands-on context.
