Your state has an opportunity to craft a unified vision for promoting climate education and workforce development programs to increase economic mobility and strengthen your state’s economy. State plans authorized by the Carl D. Perkins Career and Technical Education Act of 2006, fortified by the Strengthening Career and Technical Education (CTE) for the 21st Century Act (Perkins V), and the Workforce Innovation and Opportunity Act (WIOA), provide powerful policy tools for advancing education, workforce, and youth development goals.
These documents shed light on how to leverage the review processes for these plans and advocate for the integration of climate education and related skills and competencies into your state's plans.
