The Career and Technical Education (CTE) playbook series has explored strategies and processes states can use to strengthen CTE program quality and provide students with pathways to postsecondary credentialing and middle- and higher wage career opportunities. In the first three CTE Playbooks, ExcelinEd provided a high-level view of how states can undertake the critical role of strengthening state CTE programs, illustrated the vital role that cross-sector partnerships play in developing CTE pathways and set forth a framework for auditing state CTE programs for quality. This fourth playbook presents various funding models state policymakers can consider as they prioritize their state CTE program offerings and desired outcomes. With CTE program audit results and priorities in hand, policymakers are ready to create their specific CTE funding approach to enact a high-quality CTE program and maximize long-term student success. Each state takes a unique, and often complex, approach to funding education, and these variations are often compounded with CTE funding. There is a wide range of possible funding sources and stakeholders involved in providing aligned workforce education. This fourth playbook offers three sections of information and guidance for state policymakers ready to create their CTE funding approach: (1) A look at the various ways states currently structure their CTE funding; (2) Five steps states can take to seize the opportunity of Perkins V and maximize the impact of their CTE funding; and (3) Four state profiles on CTE funding for a deeper examination of what states are doing.
