CTE Program Defined
“A sequence of courses that provides individuals
with coherent and rigorous content aligned with
challenging academic standards and relevant
technical knowledge and skills needed to prepare
for further education and careers in current or
emerging professions.”
◦ Proficiency = an industry-recognized
credential, a certificate, or an associate
degree
Perkins Act - §3(5) Page 94
Programs of Study
A program of study is a comprehensive,
structured approach for delivering academic and
career & technical education to prepare students
for postsecondary education and career success.
Design Framework
POS, at minimum, must:
 Incorporate and align secondary and
postsecondary education elements
 Include academic and CTE content in a
coordinated, non-duplicative progression of
courses
 Offer the opportunity, where appropriate, for
secondary students to acquire postsecondary
credits
 Lead to an industry-recognized credential or
certificate at the post-secondary level, or an
associate or baccalaureate degree


Course sequences
 Non-duplicative sequences of secondary and
postsecondary courses within a POS ensure that
students transition to postsecondary education
without duplicating classes or requiring remedial
coursework

Credit transfer agreements
 A formal agreement among secondary and
postsecondary education systems that provide
opportunities for secondary students to be
awarded transcripted postsecondary credit

Guidance counseling and academic advisement
 Comprehensive guidance for students to make
informed decisions about which POS to pursue

which enable teachers to integrate academic and
technical instruction in to program coursework

Technical skills assessment
 Assessments that provide ongoing information on the
extent to which students are attaining the necessary
knowledge and skills for entry into postsecondary
education and careers.
 Leads to industry-recognized credential or
certifications

Regulations and policies
 Federal, state, and local legislation or administrative
policies that promote POS development and
implementation
Sequence of Courses

with the knowledge and skills required for
employment and/or advanced education
training
