The CTE Equation in Florida: A Research Study
Mokher, Christine; Sun, Christopher; Pearson, Juliana
CNA Corporation
Career and technical education (CTE) programs play a vital role in preparing high school students for life after graduation. The Carl D. Perkins Act of 2006 (Perkins) requires states that receive federal CTE funding to align secondary and postsecondary programs, so that students can transition seamlessly from a high school CTE program to a certificate, associate's degree, or bachelor's degree program in their chosen field of study. This report uses data from the Florida Department of Economic Opportunity and the U.S. Department of Labor's Bureau of Labor Statistics to identify high-growth and high-wage occupations in the state of Florida, and the associated CTE Career Clusters. School, district, and college staff, as well as state policymakers and local Workforce Investment Boards, can use this report in conjunction with other resources to inform the development and expansion of CTE programs as well as decisions to modify or eliminate programs no longer aligned with labor market needs.
