Wyoming’s CTE Plan for Students Among Latest Approved by U.S. Secretary of Education

U.S. Secretary of Education Betsy DeVos announced Friday that the U.S. Department of Education has approved Wyoming’s career and technical education state plan. According to a Department of Education news release, Wyoming is one of the latest states to have its CTE plan approved under the new, bipartisan Strengthening Career and Technical Education for the 21st Century Act (Perkins V), which was signed into law by President Trump on July 31.

Perkins V encourages states to expand opportunities for every student to access educational opportunities that will put them on the path to success. Each state crafted a plan to fulfill its promise of offering a robust CTE option for students following consultation with its key constituents representing education and workforce, business and industry, and parents and community partners.
