Supporting Small Business and Career and Technical Education Act of 2023

S 936 amends the Small Business Act to integrate career and technical education (CTE) into small business support programs. It requires Small Business Development Centers (SBDCs) and Women’s Business Centers (WBCs) to help small businesses hire CTE program graduates and assist CTE graduates in starting businesses. The bill defines "career and technical education" using the Perkins Act standard and adds specific new service requirements to existing SBDC and WBC programs. This directly affects small businesses seeking talent and CTE students/graduates aiming to launch ventures, with no new funding or tax changes.
