Referred to the House Committee on Education and the Workforce.
H.R. 7386 establishes a federal grant program to help career and technical education schools promote the value of their programs and increase public awareness about career and technical education opportunities. Schools can use grants to fund advocacy campaigns, public awareness initiatives that highlight student success stories, and outreach partnerships with businesses and community organizations. The bill authorizes one million dollars annually from fiscal years 2025 through 2030, which will be distributed competitively by the Department of Education's Office of Career, Technical, and Adult Education to eligible public and private entities offering career and technical education programs. Grant recipients must submit annual reports on their progress and outcomes, and the Department of Education can evaluate programs and require adjustments based on effectiveness. The legislation recognizes career and technical education as important for preparing students for careers and supporting economic growth.
