    Summary

    The purpose of the Strengthening Career and Technical Education for the 21st Century Act (Perkins V) is to develop more fully the academic knowledge and technical and employability skills of secondary education students and postsecondary education students who elect to enroll in career and technical education programs and programs of study, by –

    • building on the efforts of States and localities to develop challenging academic and technical standards and to assist students in meeting such standards, including preparation for high skill, high wage, or in-demand occupations in current or emerging professions; 
    • promoting the development of services and activities that integrate rigorous and challenging academic and career and technical instruction, and that link secondary education and postsecondary education for participating career and technical education students; 
    • increasing State and local flexibility in providing services and activities designed to develop, implement, and improve career and technical education;
    • conducting and disseminating national research and disseminating information on best practices that improve career and technical education programs and programs of study, services, and activities; 
    • providing technical assistance that— (A) promotes leadership, initial preparation, and professional development at the State and local levels; and (B) improves the quality of career and technical education teachers, faculty, administrators, and counselors; 
    • supporting partnerships among secondary schools, postsecondary institutions, baccalaureate degree granting institutions, area career and technical education schools, local workforce investment boards, business and industry, and intermediaries; 
    • providing individuals with opportunities throughout their lifetimes to develop, in conjunction with other education and training programs, the knowledge and skills needed to keep the United States competitive; and 
    • increasing the employment opportunities for populations who are chronically unemployed or underemployed, including individuals with disabilities, individuals from economically disadvantaged families, out-of-workforce individuals, youth who are in, or have aged out of, the foster care system, and homeless individuals.

    Additional Information

    Arkansas' workforce development activities are focused on ensuring its programs are aligned with the education and skill needs of employers across the state and designed to ensure every child graduates ready for college, career and civic engagement. 


    Perkins V requires the state to designate a sole state agency to be responsible for the funds. In Arkansas, the State Board of Education is the sole state agency with oversight through the Division of Career Education (DCTE). Through a Memorandum of Understanding (MOU), the Arkansas Division of Higher Education (ADHE) is responsible for and accountable to DCTE for all performance and compliance aspects of postsecondary Perkins activities.
