Perkins V
The Strengthening Career and Technical Education for the 21st
Century Act (Perkins V) was
signed into law by President Trump on July 31, 2018. This
bipartisan measure reauthorized the Carl D. Perkins Career and
Technical Education Act of 2006 (Perkins IV) and continued
Congress’ commitment in providing nearly $1.3 billion annually
for quality career and technical education (CTE) programs for
individuals seeking to succeed in a knowledge- and skills-based
economy.
Perkins V represents an important opportunity to expand
opportunities for every student to explore, choose and follow
career and technical education programs of study and career
pathways to earn credentials of value.
