520 |a Career and Technical Education (CTE) balances the pull between the practical and theoretical by applying academic knowledge to real-world problems, preparing students for a wide array of careers. Unfortunately, confusion and stereotypes still reign when it comes to what career and technical education is and is not, even as public sentiment shifts to expand these educational opportunities and Congress considers legislation and funding to do just that. These inherent contradictions around an issue that seems to enjoy broad support are among the reasons the Center for Public Education wanted to produce this FAQ guide. This report provides a brief overview of the history and purpose of career technical education, how it is funded and operationalized at various levels, and ultimately the outcomes for students who have participated in CTE programs. The report concludes with questions for policy makers to help guide them in implementing or expanding their own CTE offerings. [This FAQ was written with contributions from Breanna Holland Higgins.]
