flag Wisconsin lacks state funding for high school career programs, leaving students in underfunded areas at a disadvantage despite national growth in CTE support.

flag Wisconsin remains one of only five states without dedicated state funding for career and technical education (CTE) in public high schools, forcing districts to rely on inconsistent federal funds, grants, and local taxes. flag Despite Superintendent Jill Underly’s $45 million funding request being rejected in 2026, advocates continue pushing for investment to address workforce shortages, boost student engagement, and reduce inequities. flag While some schools offer hands-on programs like farming and coffee shop management, access varies widely. flag Nationally, CTE is gaining bipartisan support, with 90 new policies enacted in 2024, yet Wisconsin has not established a permanent funding mechanism, leaving students in underfunded areas at a disadvantage.
