1 SEC. 2. FINDINGS. 

2 Congress finds the following: 

3 (1) In every congressional district, career and 

4 technical education programs and career-connected 

5 pathways programs play a vital role in ensuring 

6 workers remain competitive in high-wage, high-skill, 

7 and in-demand career fields, including information 

8 technology, health care, and the skilled trades, all of 

9 which have hundreds of thousands of job openings 

10 across the United States. 

11 (2) Every student should have access to career 

12 and technical education opportunities to learn how 

13 their academic background will prepare them for 

14 postsecondary education and a career. 

15 (3) Curriculum and course offerings should not 

16 be based on the assumption that every student has 

17 the same academic needs, interests, and goals. In18 stead, schools should prepare students for their indi19 vidualized career goals by providing opportunities for 

20 students to discover and delve into their interests. 

21 These opportunities may include career and tech22 nical education, personalized learning, apprentice23 ships, early college and dual enrollment, and lan24 guage immersion programs. 

25 (4) Specifically, career and technical education 

26 and dual enrollment programs integrate classroom

•HR 3893 IH

1 learning with technical, job-specific skills to prepare 

2 students for high-skill careers in industries such as 

3 information technology, manufacturing, health 

4 science, nursing, medical professions, construction, 

5 engineering, and more. Under the Carl D. Perkins 

6 Vocational and Technical Education Act (20 U.S.C. 

7 2301), States receive funding to integrate career 

8 pathway programs with academic learning for stu9 dents who choose to enroll in career and technical 

10 education programs. 

11 (5) Career and technical education programs 

12 currently serve 12,500,000 high school and college 

13 students and boast a graduation rate of about 90 

14 percent, which is 15 percent higher than the na15 tional average. 

16 (6) Career-connected learning programs, which 

17 integrate college preparatory academics, technical 

18 training, work-based learning, and support, have had 

19 positive outcomes for students. 

20 (7) Six out of ten students plan to pursue a ca21 reer related to the career-connected learning pro22 grams they are exploring in high school. 

23 (8) According to the Census Bureau 33.4 per24 cent of individuals in the United States hold college 

25 degrees as of 2017, which falls drastically short of

•HR 3893 IH

1 meeting the national need for skilled labor and dem2 onstrates that traditional college career paths only 

3 work for about 30 percent of individuals in the 

4 United States. 

5 (9) While career and technical education models 

6 have been piloted across the United States, grant 

7 programs need to be expanded to encourage addi8 tional school districts to offer students opportunities 

9 for career-connected learning, including apprentice10 ships, and project-based learning pathways. 

11 (10) Career and technical education programs 

12 should incentivize school districts to offer summer 

13 internships or course credit through opportunities 

14 created by business and community partnerships. 

15 SEC. 3. STATE SKILLS EDUCATION COALITIONS.
