An Act relative to community colleges and the career technical initiative
This bill allows Massachusetts community colleges to apply for grant money from the Career Technical Initiative to create evening courses for adults seeking technical and trade skills. It requires these new community college-based institutes to meet the same approval standards as those located in vocational technical schools and ensures they are included in all related state reports. By enabling evening classes, the legislation aims to provide more flexible learning opportunities for working adults in industry-recognized fields.
