An Act relating to technical readiness and career training education in public schools.
HB 333 establishes a statewide Alaska technical readiness and career training system to fund career-focused education in public schools for grades 6-12. It directs school districts to spend at least 80% of vocational and technical instruction funding on direct student programs like classroom instruction, industry certifications, apprenticeships, and work-based learning - excluding administrative costs and general academic skills. The bill requires districts to develop programs with measurable student mastery, career pathways, and stackable credentials accepted for high school graduation or college credit. It amends funding formulas to include a dedicated vocational and technical instruction factor (1.025) and creates a new department system to support program development across districts.
