CTE plan aligned with workforce plan

When the committee submits a new or revised four-year CTE plan, the plan must line up with the state’s combined workforce plan. This links education planning to broader workforce goals under federal law.

Regular CTE meetings and reports

Leaders of higher education, K–12, and labor meet at least three times a year. Meetings happen during regular sessions of the Board of Regents, the Board of Public Education, and the State Workforce Innovation Board. Teachers, students, labor groups, employers, and CTE schools take part. The committee reviews the state plan, finds problems with how Montana runs the federal CTE law, and identifies student and employer needs. It can make needed changes in how the state administers the program. The Board of Regents reports the results to the Legislature.

State CTE plan committee formed

The law creates a state committee to update Montana’s career and technical education plan. The higher education commissioner and the state superintendent each appoint two educators and one business or community member. The labor commissioner appoints the state workforce board leader or chair and one labor representative. This group updates the plan to match federal career and technical education rules.
