Native American Career and
Technical Education Program

Each year, under the Perkins statute, Congress authorizes nearly $18 million to the Native American Career and Technical Education Program (NACTEP). This funding is designated for federally recognized Indian tribes, tribal organizations, Alaska Native entities, and eligible Bureau of Indian Affairs (BIA)-funded schools to provide career and technical education programs for Native Americans and Alaska Natives students.
