Adult CTE programs use Perkins funds to prepare students for employment in high-skill, high-wage, high-demand occupations. The Perkins legislation requires adult programs to coordinate services with their Local Workforce Investment Boards (LWIB) to avoid duplication and to expand the range and accessibility of services (e.g., sharing of job development services).

Formula-derived agency allocations must amount to at least $50,000 to qualify for adult Perkins funds. This makes complete and accurate data reporting essential. Use the CTEDSÌýenrollment formsÌýto submit enrollment counts.

CLNA Workbook

The Strengthening Career and Technical Education for the 21^st Century Act (Perkins V) requires eligible applicants to complete a Comprehensive Local Needs Assessment (CLNA) at least once every two years. The needs assessment should include reviews of at least five elements: 1. student performance on the performance indicators, including the performance of special populations and subgroups; 2. whether programs are of sufficient size, scope, and quality to meet the needs of all students served by the eligible recipient and are meeting labor market needs; 3. progress toward the implementation of CTE programs and programs of study; 4. how the eligible recipient will improve recruitment, retention, and training of CTE professionals, including underrepresented groups; and 5. progress toward implementation of equal access to high-quality CTE courses and programs of study, for all students.Ìý

• Adult CTE providers who met the eligibility requirements for Perkins in 2024-25 may continue to be eligible for the 2025-26 program year, but this will not be determined until the formula for statewide enrollments for postsecondary applicants is run.
• Applicants who generated more than the required $50,000 allocation for the 2024-25 application, and whose enrollments of economically disadvantaged students remainÌýat similar levels have a greater chance of being eligible for the 2025-26 program year.Ìý
• Applicants who generated an allocation near the $50,000 may not be eligible and may wait until more information is available about the allocations from the Office of Postsecondary Access, Support, and Success, who oversees the formula for Perkins programs run for adult (post-high school) students. Questions about the allocations can be directed to them at:

Enrollment

• CTEDS 1A Form

SED continues to use a paper copy of the CTEDS 1A with an original signature for adult students in secondary agencies. The State Education Department uses this data to determine which adult programs are eligible for Perkins funds. The data is due at the end of each program year.

All agencies are to report on adult students who were enrolled in CTE programs during each program year (July 1, to June 30).

Page 1 of the CTEDS-1A form contains a certification statement. In signing this statement, the Chief School Officer (CSO) confirms the accuracy of the counts reported on CTEDS-1A. Valid enrollment counts are needed to ensure the appropriate use of funds and to compile valid reports of students served. The CSO should review the counts recorded on CTEDS-1A and, if necessary, initiate appropriate data-verification procedures to validate this dataÌý After the accuracy of the data has been confirmed, the CSO should sign the certification statement and forward the completed CTEDS-1A to:

Overview

This enrollment report (CTEDS-1A) should show all adult CTE enrollments without regard to program length. Programs exist that meet the definition of a CTE program (see below) yet are less than 100 hours in length. Do not include introductory or avocational programs.ÌýÌýÌý

The information recorded on CTEDS-1A must be based on an actual count of individual students.ÌýEstimates are not acceptable. The count may be derived from computer records, paper files or other sources ofÌýindividualÌýstudent data.

Use the definitions of terms provided in these instructions.

Each adult CTE student is to be counted only once. CTEDS-1A counts are to be an unduplicated count of students served. Students enrolled in more than one program are to be counted only once. Report the enrollment of such students under the program that is most consistent with the student's primary occupational objective.

Mail a copy and retain a copy of the completed CTEDS-1A .
