Carl D. Perkins Vocational and Applied
Technology Education Act
(VATEA) of 1990
VATEA, which became effective on July 1, 1991, authorized $125 million nationwide to fund cooperative programs
and agreements between secondary schools and community colleges. In California a share of this grant is being administered
by the Chancellor's Office of the California Community Colleges and the California Department of Education. Title
III, Part E of the VATEA, cited as the Tech Prep Education Act, calls for the development of a three-year plan
at each Tech Prep consortia site. Funding for a fourth year has been awarded for 1995/1996.
The Tech Prep Education section of VATEA was established to
- provide planning and demonstration grants for consortia
of local educational agencies and postsecondary education institutions that are designed to develop and operate
four-year Tech Prep Education programs leading to an associate degree or certificate.
- provide strong systemwide links among the schools,
colleges, and employers.
