“Dual and concurrent enrollment programs are a key part of the connections between our secondary education, postsecondary education and workforce systems,” said Association for Career and Technical Education Executive Director LeAnn Curry. “By expanding grants to support these programs and professional development for educators, the MEAA will strengthen the talent pipeline for the 21st century American workforce. Through dual and concurrent enrollment opportunities, students can earn and make progress towards industry-recognized credentials that demonstrate the foundational skills students have obtained through CTE programs. As we confront emerging workforce challenges, we must be nimble in connecting students with career opportunities through dual and concurrent enrollment programs. We commend this bipartisan legislation and its sponsors for their leadership.”

“Small business is strengthened with support from career and technical education (CTE) programs,” said ACTE Executive Director LeAnn Curry. “When entrepreneurs have the resources they need to start their own businesses in their communities, and workers can enter rewarding career paths with upward mobility, economic growth is possible. Supporting small businesses that hire CTE program graduates is just one step we can take to ensure that we build a strong pipeline of skilled workers in high-need industries. ACTE is proud to support this legislation, and we thank Congressman Williams for his leadership and focus on the role small businesses play alongside CTE in developing a strong economic future for our country.”
