Secondary CTE shows statistically significant gains in academic achievement, high school completion, employability skills, and college readiness. - Employers and workers: CTE aligns training with labor demand and helps fill replacement needs where about 1.7 million workers per year are projected to leave infrastructure-related jobs through 2031. By 2031 nearly one-third of jobs will require some postsecondary education short of a bachelor's degree. - Educators and policymakers: The resolution endorses the goals of CTE, cites the 2018 Strengthening Career and Technical Education Act, and calls on educators, counselors, administrators, and parents to promote CTE programs that operate in thousands of schools and more than 1,000 two-year colleges. ## Cosponsors (51) - Sen.
