How is career and technical education funded?
The US federal government funds career and technical education through the Carl D. Perkins Vocational and Technical Education Act. Federal funding represents about 8-10% of the budgets for these programs. Remaining costs are funded through state and local revenue. The Elementary and Secondary Education Act, the Higher Education Act, and the Workforce Investment Act also fund these programs.
