Need help identifying best practices for serving each of the nine special population groups defined in Perkins V? Start here!

When the Perkins Act was reauthorized in 2018, it increased the focus of career and technical education (CTE) programs on serving the needs of special populations and expanded the definition to include nine distinct groups.

Individuals with disabilities
Individuals from economically disadvantaged families, including low-income youth and adults
Individuals preparing for nontraditional fields
Single parents, including single pregnant women
Out-of-workforce individuals
English learners
Homeless individuals
Youth who are in, or have aged out of, the foster care system
Youth with a parent who is a member of the armed forces and is on active duty

NAPE has completed a literature review, compiled effective practices and identified organizations with particular expertise to support development of your Perkins Comprehensive Local Needs Assessment and Local Application, and to assist state agencies in providing effective technical assistance to better serve each of these nine student groups.
