A 4403 New Jersey General Assembly · 2024-2025 Regular Session

Establishes Career and Technical Education Dual Enrollment Grant Program; appropriates $5 million.

This bill creates a $5 million grant program to expand dual enrollment opportunities in career and technical education (CTE) for high school students in New Jersey. Public institutions of higher education (like community colleges and universities) can apply for grants to develop or grow college-level CTE courses offered on campus or in high schools, allowing students to earn college credits while still in high school. Applications must detail program plans, existing offerings, capacity for CTE coursework, and expected student participation, with grants awarded competitively - prioritizing programs designed to continue after funding ends. The program requires annual reporting to the Governor and Legislature on student participation, funding use, and impact on workforce shortages.
