Supporting the goals and ideals of "Career and Technical Education Month".

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.
