Summary
The bill directs the State Superintendent to create and refresh career‑technical curriculum standards every five years with input from CTE teachers and labor representatives, and to maintain a supporting framework. It also broadens work‑based learning by letting school districts, county offices, charter schools, and special schools offer apprenticeships, internships and related programs, and lets 10th‑grade students earn credit for such experiences. These changes aim to keep school programs aligned with current industry needs and give students more pathways to real‑world skills.
