Perkins and Section 118 ACRN
• Section 118 is in the law but it is not lineitem funded by DoEd nor at the state level
• The Governor has identified TWC/LMCI
as the Texas ACRN section 118 designee
• LMCI offers career exploration products,
resources and training in support of
Perkins through grant dollars from TEA
and the USDOL.
• LMCI = CDR = SOICC
Labor Market Realities
It’s Not 1955 Anymore! Adapting to New
Business Practices and Technology Innovation
• “The drive-in restaurant is convenient in nice
weather, but I doubt seriously they will ever catch
on”
• “I’m just afraid the Volkswagen car is going to
open the door to a whole lot of foreign business”
• “It’s too bad things are so tough nowadays. I see
where a few married women are having to work
to make ends meet. It won’t be long before young
couples are going to have to hire someone to
watch their kids so they can both work.”
