The state invites community input to shape a four-year plan for Perkins V funding, focusing on bridging gaps and aligning CTE education with high-demand, high-wage careers.
A town hall meeting is set for Oct. 4 from 6 p.m. to 8 p.m. in Kingsport at the Regional Center for Advanced Manufacturing, 305 W. Main St., Room 138.
All community members are invited, from K-12 and college educators to parents and students to local agencies and businesses.
Here is a list of possible topics:
Diversity in Non-Traditional Programs: How can the community encourage more non-traditional students to explore programs like Cosmetology or Advanced Manufacturing?
Effective Use of Perkins Funds: What are the best ways to use Perkins funds to ensure CTE students succeed? Should the community invest in modern equipment, educator salaries, professional development, or something else?
Industry Credentials: Should the community focus Perkins funding on Industry Credentials for students? Or are there other funding opportunities we should consider?
Middle School Awareness: To boost high school-to-college transitions, what activities can middle school students participate in to learn more about CTE, including STEM programs?
The federal government first authorized the Carl D. Perkins Vocational and Technical Education Act in 1984. It currently provides nearly $1.4 billion annually for CTE programs across the U.S.
