Career/Vocational Technical Education

Perkins Implementation Workshops

Are you interested in understanding the new Perkins V resources? Have you heard about the Comprehensive Local Needs Assessment and would like to learn more? Are you curious about the new Perkins Application?

The Strengthening Career and Technical Education for the 21st Century Act (commonly known as Perkins V) recognizes, in a way that previous iterations of Perkins legislation did not, the value and importance of in-depth, continual programmatic self-examination to improve programs and benefit students. The Department of Elementary and Secondary Education is offering daylong workshops dedicated to understanding these new Perkins V resources and how to incorporate them into CVTE program improvement efforts. Participants will have an opportunity to explore and use Perkins V resources, such as core indicator reports, comprehensive local needs assessment, application, and more.
