This Senate resolution designates February 2026 as "Career and Technical Education Month" to celebrate career and technical education programs across the United States. The resolution recognizes that approximately 12 million students are enrolled in CTE programs at secondary and postsecondary levels, which provide job training for high-demand careers that typically require some postsecondary education but not a four-year degree. The legislation highlights that by 2031, nearly one-third of all jobs will fall into this category, making CTE programs crucial for economic competitiveness and workforce development. The resolution encourages educators, counselors, administrators, and parents to promote career and technical education as a valuable educational pathway for students. This is a symbolic resolution with no funding attached and serves primarily to raise awareness about the importance of vocational training programs.
