  • career and technical education programs that are aligned with postsecondary education programs,
  • dual or concurrent enrollment programs and early college programs,
  • certain evidence-based strategies and delivery models related to career and technical education,
  • teacher and leader experiential and informational-gathering site visits,
  • professional development of educators and business partners,
  • structured interdisciplinary collaboration and common planning time,
  • teacher and leader externship programs,
  • cross-credentialing for teachers,
  • paid student internships or other paid work-based learning experiences, and
  • guidance counseling.

Unless granted a waiver, a grant recipient must provide specified matching funds in the fourth and fifth years of the five-year grant.
