Student Debt Alternative and CTE Awareness Act

Bill 119 hr 1641, also known as the "Career and Technical Education Transparency Act," aims to increase transparency and awareness of career and technical education (CTE) programs and funding provided under the Carl D. Perkins Career and Technical Education Act of 2006. The bill requires the Secretary of Education to disclose information about CTE programs, including data on student outcomes, program effectiveness, and funding allocations.

Additionally, the bill mandates that the Free Application for Federal Student Aid (FAFSA) include a section where applicants must acknowledge their interest in pursuing a career and technical education. This acknowledgment is intended to encourage more students to consider CTE programs as a viable post-secondary education option.

Overall, Bill 119 hr 1641 seeks to promote CTE programs and provide students with more information and support in pursuing career pathways that align with their interests and skills. By increasing transparency and awareness of CTE opportunities, the bill aims to help students make informed decisions about their education and future career paths.
