Work-Based Learning Resource Center

Quality work-based learning makes school-based learning more relevant by providing an opportunity to apply knowledge and skills learned in the classroom to structured work outside the classroom, and thus helps students to see the connection between learning, future employment and post-secondary education
Program Approval
The New York City Department of Education (NYCDOE) CTE Unit reviews all Program of Study proposals and makes recommendations to the New York State Education Department (NYSED) for approval. Upon approval by SED, students who complete the Program of Study are eligible for a technical endorsement on their New York City diploma.
Funding for Career and Technical Education Programs
New York City receives an annual allocation from the federal Vocational and Technical Education Act (VTEA), also known as the Perkins Act; DOE disburses these funds to CTE programs by competitive application.
