Expressing support for approximately doubling funding for Federal career and technical education programs.
This resolution (HRES 222) expresses the House's support for doubling federal funding for career and technical education (CTE) programs. It states current annual funding under the Perkins V law ($1.3 billion in 2023) is insufficient and urges the Education Committee to authorize $13 billion over 10 years - approximately double current levels - to support workforce training. The resolution directly affects American workers seeking job skills and career advancement through CTE programs in secondary and postsecondary education. It does not change funding but formally urges Congress to increase authorized spending for these programs.
