Maximizing Access and Success for
Special Populations in Career Technical Education

Achieving a future of Career Technical Education (CTE) without limits for every learner requires robust and intentional investments in policy and practice that remove barriers for learners to access, enroll and succeed in the program of their choice.

The Carl D. Perkins Career and Technical Education Act (Perkins V) includes provisions that prioritize expanding access to and supporting success within CTE programs to designated special populations.

The Maximizing Access and Success for Special Populations in Career Technical Education series is a collection of briefs from Advance CTE and the Association for Career and Technical Education (ACTE) that will explore definitions, strategies and guiding questions for supporting each of the nine special populations as defined by Perkins V as well as learner groups who, while not special populations under the law, may need additional supports to enroll and succeed in CTE.
