Key Points

This resolution officially recognizes February as a time to celebrate career and technical education (CTE) programs in schools across the country.
It highlights that over 11 million students are currently learning trade and technical skills in high schools, technical centers, and community colleges.
The goal is to encourage students, parents, and teachers to see these programs as a great way to prepare for high-paying jobs in fields like construction, healthcare, and technology.
Lawmakers point out that by 2031, about one-third of all jobs will require some training after high school but not necessarily a four-year college degree.
This is a ceremonial action, which means it does not change any laws or provide new money, but it shows that Congress supports these types of learning programs.
