## Summary

**Searchable statewide directory of career and technical education programs** would let States create a public, searchable catalog of CTE programs and career pathways using open, linked data and updates at least once per program year. The directory would be searchable by district, industry or career cluster, and credential, and would list each program's name, description, location, course sequences, dual or concurrent enrollment or postsecondary credentials, affiliated postsecondary institutions or workforce boards, work-based learning opportunities, and evidence of alignment with labor-market needs. - Families and students: Would make it easier to find and compare local CTE programs by district, career cluster, or available credential so learners can match programs to career goals or college credit. - Schools and eligible agencies: Would require them to publish standardized, open, interoperable data about each program and update it at least once per program year, creating a single place to show course sequences and partner affiliations. - Employers and workforce planners: Would surface industry affiliations and evidence of labor-market alignment to help identify training partnerships and talent pipelines. - Postsecondary institutions and local workforce boards: Would gain clearer visibility of K–12 program offerings and credentials for coordination and credit transfer.
