Since FY2012, the Alaska legislature has provided $625,000 annually for implementation of the CTE Plan through competitive grants to school districts, postsecondary institutions, and non-profit organizations, to enhance existing CTE programs or implement new ones. These grants include a requirement for business partners to be involved, as well as requiring use of Personal Learning and Career Planning, an important foundation of the CTE Plan.
Grant projects have supported a variety of programs and projects across the state, including health science programs of study in rural Alaska, construction training for incarcerated women, upgrading of CTE facilities, industry certification programs for high school students, a summer academy in community public safety, and development of a digital design and fabrication program.
For details about all grant projects, please visit

The application for FY16 CTE Plan Grants will be published in early 2015.
