4. Programs of study
Public school Career and Technology Education (CTE) programs that are misaligned to labor market demand create multiple problems for Texas students:
Students take secondary and post-secondary coursework that lead to low- paying and/or limited job opportunities.
Students accrue a high amount of student loan debt while in pursuit of low- paying and/or low-demand careers.

5. Programs of study
To address these issues, the College, Career, and Military Preparation (CCMP) Division has defined a list of state and regional programs of study that local education agencies (LEAs) can offer in their CTE programs based on the current job market demands.

Templates will include occupations and labor market information connected with each Program of Study.

8. Programs of study
A program of study is defined as a comprehensive, structured approach for delivering academic and career and technical education to prepare a student for postsecondary education and career success. LEAs will be able to apply for approval of additional regional programs of study based on unique regional job market demands. Effective in the school year, for an LEA to be eligible to receive Carl D. Perkins funding, they must offer at least one program of study.

9. Programs of study
To administer the federal Carl D. Perkins Career and Technical Education (CTE) program, it is necessary to collect additional CTE data. TX-ProgramsOfStudy sub-complex type is added to the LocalEducationAgencyExtension complex type; reported in the PEIMS Fall Submission. PROGRAM-OF-STUDY (E1643) and associated code table, PROGRAM- OF-STUDY-CODE (C220)

10. Programs of study
If an LEA offers a CTE program of study, then the LEA must report the sub-complex type TX-ProgramsOfStudy and PROGRAM-OF-STUDY (E1643). PROGRAM-OF-STUDY can be reported more than once and the LEA should report each PROGRAM-OF-STUDY it offers.
