TVEP Reauthorization
The Alaska Legislature established the Technical Vocational Education Program (TVEP) in 2000, designating a portion of the Unemployment Insurance receipts for career and technical education. Funds are distributed to the 澳门彩开奖 and other Regional Training Centers.
The 澳门彩开奖 has been a major recipient of TVEP funding since the program鈥檚 inception. Preparing a qualified workforce is a core part of UA鈥檚 mission. The university needs reauthorization of this important state law. TVEP provides for high-demand career and technical education training that is industry-specific.
