Career and technical education is a critical component of a number of Federal education and training initiatives that are designed to help support the development of a 21st Century workforce.

Perkins Career and Technical Education Improvement Act of 2005, is to reauthorize and improve the federally supported career and technical education programs last reauthorized by the Carl D.
