State Policies Impacting CTE: Year in Review

State Policies Impacting CTE: Year in Review

Advance CTE and the Association for Career and Technical Education (ACTE), with research support from the Education Commission of the States (ECS), partner to release an annual Year in Review report, summarizing CTE- and career readiness-related policies passed and approved in a given year. Between 2013 and 2019, all 50 states and DC have passed at least one policy, board action, executive order or budget appropriations impacting CTE, for a total of over 900 policies passed in that seven-year span.

In additon to providing a summary of all state policies, these reports also identify trends around the issues the policies are addressing – from funding and governance to industry partnerships and work-based learning.

The Resource Center is a curated set of case studies, research or reports, tools and guides, and policies.
