Key Points

  • The Senate officially named February 2025 as Career and Technical Education Month. This move is intended to celebrate programs that teach students specific skills for jobs in fields like construction, healthcare, and technology.
  • The resolution highlights a growing need for skilled workers, noting that about 1.7 million people in infrastructure jobs—such as building roads and utilities—are expected to leave the workforce every year through 2031.
  • More than 11 million students are currently taking these types of classes in high schools and community colleges. By 2031, it is estimated that nearly one-third of all jobs will require some training after high school but not a full four-year degree.
  • This is a ceremonial action that does not create new laws or provide new funding. Its main goal is to encourage parents and teachers to see technical education as a respected and successful path to a high-paying career.
