BRIEF SUMMARY
Career and Technical Education State Strategic Plan
CTE was included as part of Indiana’s overall Strategic Workforce Plan submitted in March of 2020 as part of the federal Workforce and Innovation Opportunity Act (WIOA). The Perkins V State Plan will guide CTE policy at the state level in the upcoming years, including the implementation of Next Level Programs of Study.

- (IDOE January 2023): Next Level Programs of Study (NLPS) Principles Courses The 2023-2024 IDOE Course Titles and Descriptions includes updated course descriptions from the Governor’s Workforce Cabinet’s Office of Career and Technical Education (CTE) for the NLPS courses. Below is guidance regarding taking the Principles courses as electives:
- Schools are encouraged to only offer the Principles courses when students choose to continue in a pathway leading to the Concentrator A and B courses.
- Students may take NLPS courses as electives, inclusive of the Principles courses if a meeting is held with a school counselor to determine if seats are available. For example, if a student is in another non-CTE pathway that does not require a Principles course for completion, but the student has an opening in his schedule and an interest in taking the Principles course as an elective, this may be permitted. It is not recommended that a school offer this course, or any NLPS courses to all students when it does not lead to a CTE concentrator completion.
Contact IDOE’s Office of Student Pathways with any questions.
