Establishes four-year Career and Technical Education Partnership Grant Program.

This bill (A936) establishes a four-year grant program to expand career and technical education (CTE) opportunities in New Jersey. It provides funding to county vocational school districts and other school districts with approved CTE programs to partner with urban districts, colleges, or other entities, creating new CTE programs in existing facilities they don’t own or lease. School districts must submit detailed applications outlining partnerships, student capacity, facility use, costs, and long-term sustainability plans. After four years, the Commissioner of Education must report to the legislature on outcomes and recommend whether to make the program permanent, including funding sources. The program directly affects school districts, students seeking career training, and local employers supporting curriculum development.
