This bill will help Career and Technical Education serve more students and help them become employable.
This bill will enable students to hit the ground running upon graduation. It will expand their options and give them more resources for furthering their education. I am for it.
If we want our students who are not going on to college or have not chosen to be a CTE completer to have a chance at being prepared for work, we need to support this bill. To do otherwise is an injustice to our students.
