2007 Changes in Perkins Reporting Requirements
CTEA2, Non-Degree-Credit Career and Technical Education Programs


The 2007 CTEA2 non-degree-credit data collection reflects continuing federal and state discussions on how to implement the Perkins Career and Technical Education Act of 2006 (CTEA, formerly VTEA). In response, the New York State 2007 form requests:

Cohort for Completion, Placement and Job Retention – all non-credit career and technical education students enrolled in the reporting year


Additionally:

* Qualifying income levels within the definition of “economically disadvantaged” have changed.

* New York will delay adopting revised federal government race/ethnicity categories until next year. Please prepare for future surveys by collecting them as part of your student records.

Non-Credit Completion


* Instead of reporting just first-time full-time entrants, report ALL students, full and part-time, enrolled in non-credit CTE programs in the reporting year (2006-07), with their status at year end (probably determined at the start of the next academic year). Based on this data, we will construct an exit cohort.

* Record each student’s attendance level at entry (full- or part-time). If unknown, enter a “3.” (See the code list on the form.)

* The form collects each student’s earliest and latest programs during the data year. If the student transferred to a non-CTE program, record the program as “non-CTE.”

* Report the broad technical assessments that each student took while enrolled (see above).

 

Placement


* Eliminated: 12-Month Job Retention
Report six-month (“2nd Quarter”) placement status only.

Revised:

Race/Ethnicity

As you probably know, the federal government recently changed its race/ethnicity definitions. Though we'll continue to use the old definitions this year, please begin collecting the new break-outs for the future.
