Governor Abbott Signs Laws To Expand Texas’ Career Training Programs

News
Governor Greg Abbott today ceremonially signed House Bill 20 and House Bill 120 into law to expand career and technical education opportunities for students across Texas.
"Career training is a game-changer for our students, for our state, and for our employers," said Governor Abbott. "A four-year college degree is not the right pathway for every student. It may be a smarter pathway for a student to get career training. In just the past two years, the State of Texas has invested more than $7 billion in career training programs across Texas. Career training and technical education is bigger and better than it has ever been with the signing of these two laws."
