This bill aims to enhance awareness and accessibility of career and technical education (CTE) programs as a viable alternative to traditional four-year degrees. It mandates the Secretary of Education to publish detailed information on CTE programs on the Office of Federal Student Aid's public website within 60 days, including average completion time, program cost, and post-graduation employment rates , along with state-specific opportunities and funding under the Carl D. Perkins Act. The Department must continuously update this information. Furthermore, the bill requires the Free Application for Federal Student Aid (FAFSA) to include an acknowledgment that CTE programs are a viable alternative, incorporating a one-page summary of the website information and an acknowledgment signature box to inform applicants early. No additional funds are authorized for this Act.
