Overview

The Perkins Grant is a federally funded act approved by Congress to support Career Technical Education (CTE) programs for secondary and post-secondary students. The goal of these programs is to provide career technical training in a variety of career pathways so that students graduate from high school college prepared and career ready. The skills learned in our CTE programs will help to ensure that students will be prepared (upon graduation, and even sooner) for employment in jobs with career paths that provide living-wage jobs. CTE programs are based on the premise that students learn best by doing and that the workplace is an important learning environment for the student.

In CTE in California, there are fifteen defined Industry Sectors, each of which contains specific Career Pathways. Perkins supports pathway programs in these sectors:

Agriculture and Natural Resources
Arts, Media and Entertainment Technology
Building Trades and Construction
Education, Child Development and Family Services
Energy and Utilities
Engineering and Design
Fashion and Interior Design
Finance and Business
Health Science and Medical Technology
Hospitality, Tourism and Recreation
Information Technology
Manufacturing and Product Development
Marketing, Sales and Service
Public Services
Transportation
