The Carl D. Perkins Vocational and Technical Education Act was first authorized by the federal government in 1984 and reauthorized in 1998. Named for Carl D. Perkins, the act aims to increase the quality of technical education within the United States in order the help the economy. On August 12, 2006 President George W. Bush signed into law the re-authorization of the Act of 1998. The new law, the Carl D. Perkins Career and Technical Education Improvement Act of 2006, was passed almost unanimously by Congress in late July 2006.
CKTC provides services and resources to our  partner school’s staff and students under Carl D. Perkins Career and Technical Education Improvement Act of 2006. Programs of Study, Academic Integration, and Professional Development are just a few of the available opportunities.
