Establishes a career and technical high school diploma for students completing a course of study for a career or trade

S 3667 creates a new Career and Technical Education (CTE) pathway to earn a high school diploma, allowing students to complete career-focused training instead of traditional academic requirements. It requires students to finish a CTE sequence (like vocational programs or business training), work-based learning experiences, and a work-skills profile to demonstrate readiness for a career or trade. This pathway applies to all students, including those with disabilities, and covers fields such as health occupations, agriculture, and technical education. Students entering high school in the 2025-2026 school year and beyond will be eligible to earn a diploma through this CTE pathway. The bill establishes this alternative diploma option while maintaining regents or local diploma standards.
