Next Gen CTE Pilot:
The purpose of the Next Gen CTE Pilot is to support Local Educational Agencies (LEAs) in the cost of starting new Career Technical Education (CTE) programs of study that lead to Science, Technology, Engineering, and Mathematics (STEM) proficiency, and to support LEAS in developing CTE related supports (with or without a new program of study).
The legislature committed to seven years of funding to support new STEM CTE program development in New Mexico. Although funding is not guaranteed beyond 2019-20, applicants might reasonably expect ongoing funding in support of new programs that received start-up funds in 2019-20. While some funding is also available for affiliated CTE supports, new CTE programs will receive the highest priority in awarding funding.
