Making Good on the Promise: Improving Equity in and Access to Quality CTE Programs for Students Experiencing Homelessness

The Strengthening Career and Technical Education for the 21st Century Act (Perkins V) expanded the definition of special populations to include individuals experiencing homelessness, paving the way for state and local CTE and homeless education leaders to partner in support of CTE access and success for learners experiencing homelessness. This brief, co-authored by Advance CTE and the National Center for Homeless Education, explores CTE barriers for learners experiencing homelessness and recommends strategies for addressing these barriers.

Perkins Collaborative Resource Network: CTE Performance Profiles

The U.S. Department of Education's Perkins Collaborative Resource Network CTE Performance Profiles provide national and state data on CTE access and success for all learners and disaggregated by special population, including "homeless individuals".
