| Abstract | Unemployment rates remain high as a result of U.S. economic conditions, exacerbated by the loss of jobs to globalization and increased use of technology to produce goods and deliver services. Individuals who lose their jobs are having a much harder time finding new work than in the past, and there are many workers who are forced to work only part time or who are employed in positions paying low wages with no opportunity for advancement, resulting in lost hours of work, decreases in wages and reduced weekly earnings. The unemployed and those looking to advance from low-wage positions--even those who previously completed some form of postsecondary training--need the opportunity to gain skills as well as credentials to make themselves marketable to employers who currently have jobs available. The career and technical education (CTE) system has played a large role in the development of new, targeted training programs that have become increasingly vital to those in need of updated skills. CTE programs offer workers in a wide variety of different situations the opportunity to update current skills, develop new skills and knowledge, and obtain the necessary certificate or degree for desired employment. CTE educators are leading efforts to ensure that new and redesigned programs are relevant and accessible to those most in need of additional education and training. These programs target the adult learner through short-term and accelerated programs to decrease the time required for completion, utilize flexible learning approaches to account for students' other responsibilities, concentrate education and skills training in high-demand career areas to ensure students are prepared for jobs that exist in local economies, and include wraparound support services to increase student success.
