Supporting Students Experiencing Homelessness Through Career and Technical Education

Career and Technical Education (CTE) provides valuable pathways for supporting students experiencing homelessness by offering accessible programming in both secondary and postsecondary settings. CTE focuses on equipping these individuals with the necessary skills and knowledge to secure a living wage employment and complete meaningful credentials. Through practical, hands-on learning and a curriculum tailored to real-world job markets, CTE helps break barriers to employment and fosters long-term economic stability and independence for some of the most vulnerable youth. This NCHE webinar, co-hosted with the U.S. Department of Education’s Office of Career, Technical, and Adult Education, is tailored for school district staff that work with students experiencing homelessness. By attending this webinar participants will:

  • Learn what CTE is, including the benefits and how to access CTE programs.
  • Gain an understanding of the Perkins V Act which authorizes the Career and Technical Education Act.
  • Discover how to access CTE data and use data to increase outreach to students experiencing homelessness.
  • Hear outreach strategies for partnership and access to CTE programming to increase success for students experiencing  homelessness.
