The Perkins V legislation, Strengthening Career and Technical Education for the 21st
Century Act, provides states and local education agencies with a critical framework to center equity within Career and Technical Education (CTE) – the Comprehensive Local Needs Assessment (CLNA). The needs assessment process is the primary lever within Perkins V for educators to highlight factors limiting the success of marginalized communities and underrepresented student groups in CTE. At NAPE, we believe the needs assessment enacted as a step-by-step process will be insufficient to yield meaningful and transformative change.
