Career and Technical Education Licensure Requirements/Study.
HB 705 directs North Carolina's Department of Public Instruction to study whether Career and Technical Education (CTE) high school teachers could qualify through alternative paths, such as industry credentials instead of traditional teaching licenses. The study must examine required credentials, experience levels, and competency measures by March 2026, with recommendations for potential licensure modifications. This bill does not change current rules but sets the stage for future policy decisions affecting CTE educators and skilled professionals seeking teaching roles.
