CTE Regions and Priorities

CTE Regions and Priorities

New Mexico requires a regional-association organizational structure where Career Technical Education funding decisions for secondary and postsecondary institutions are prioritized by all members of the regional, workforce-aligned association. Funded programs of study must meet Perkins V criteria related to size, scope, and quality and be aligned to in-demand industry sectors in order to be considered for federal Perkins funding, or be designed to meet local education or economic needs.
