The federal Formula Grant award titled "CAREER AND TECHNICAL EDUCATION - BASIC GRANTS TO STATES" is administered by the U.S. Department of Education's Office of Career Technical and Adult Education under CFDA program 84.048. This $50,832,462 grant program aims to develop academic, technical, and employability skills for secondary and postsecondary students enrolled in career and technical education (CTE) programs across Illinois. Grant funds support a comprehensive range of CTE activities, including curriculum development, equipment purchases, teacher training, and student support services to prepare students for high-skill, high-wage, or in-demand occupations.
The Illinois State Board of Education serves as the prime grantee and has issued numerous sub-awards to local educational agencies, community colleges, technical schools, and other entities throughout the state. These sub-awards enable the implementation of CTE programs and services that ensure students are college and career ready upon graduation. Key activities funded through the sub-awards include procuring instructional equipment and supplies, providing professional development for CTE educators, assisting special population students, and facilitating career development and transition services.
