How N.J.’s investment in career education is paying off. | Opinion (NJ.com)
Over the past few years, the state’s county vocational-technical schools have added or expanded 81 career programs and completed 21 construction projects, with 10 of those being brand-new standalone buildings. These projects are increasing the schools’ capacity by 13.5% to serve more than 4,700 additional students in programs such as biotechnology, cybersecurity, global logistics, welding and more — all tied to local and statewide workforce needs.
This expansion is a result of the Securing Our Children’s Future Bond Act, which included $275 million in state bond funding to help New Jersey’s county vocational-technical schools meet both student and employer demands for career and technical education (CTE). When this measure was put on the ballot in 2018, the vocational-technical schools averaged nearly 2.5 applicants for every available seat, and employers sought stronger pipelines of candidates with advanced skills.
