This bill makes the Department of Education share clear, easy-to-find information about career and technical education (CTE) programs and adds a CTE notice to the FAFSA form. The goal is to help students see training paths beyond a 4-year college degree. The Office of Federal Student Aid must post details like average time to finish, program cost, and job outcomes, plus how to find these programs and related state funding. This must be online within 60 days of the law taking effect and kept up to date. FAFSA must also include a short CTE summary and a signature box showing the applicant saw this information, stating that CTE programs can be a real alternative to a 4‑year degree. A non-technical bill summary from the Library of Congress describes these same requirements in plain terms.
No new funding is authorized to carry this out.
