The purpose of the Perkins Act is to prepare students to enter the workforce with the academic and vocational skills needed to compete successfully in a knowledge- and skills-based world economy.

Perkins supports career and technical education that prepares students both for further education and the careers of their choice. Perkins funds help ensure that career and technical programs are challenging and integrate academic and technical education to meet the needs of business and industry.
