Carl D. Perkins Career and Technical Education Act of 2006

President Bush signed the Perkins Act into law on August 12, 2006. The new Act will provide an increased focus on the academic achievement of career and technical education students, strengthen the connections between secondary and postsecondary education, and improve state and local accountability.

Investing in America's Future: A Blueprint for Transforming Career and Technical Education includes key changes from the current Perkins Act and highlights the Obama administration's proposal for reauthorization that will usher in a new era of rigorous, relevant and results-driven CTE shaped by four core principles—Alignment, Collaboration, Accountability and Innovation.

Effective ALIGNMENT between CTE and labor market needs to equip students with 21st-century skills and prepare them for in-demand occupations in high-growth industry sectors

Strong COLLABORATION among secondary and postsecondary institutions, employers, and industry partners to improve the quality of CTE programs

Meaningful ACCOUNTABILITY for improving academic outcomes and building technical and

Increased emphasis on INNOVATION supported by systemic reform of state policies and practices to support CTE implementation of effective practices at the local level.
