  2. Historical Overview of CTSO’s… how it all began In the 18th and 19th centuries, the concept of an organization designed to support students learning a vocation began as trade guilds and apprenticeships. Later – about 1917 – career and technical education and its youth organizations began with different federal laws.

  3. Federal Laws Smith-Hughes Act (1917) – signed by President Woodrow Wilson Often referred to as the “Granddaddy Act” of vocational education, it provided funds for Agriculture teachers whose duties included advising and supervising vocational student organizations. “George Acts”(1929, 1934, 1936, and 1946) A series of laws that supplemented and continued funding for vocational education started with Smith-Hughes Act.

  4. (Federal Laws – continued) “George Acts” Of the 4 acts, the most important to youth organizations was the George-Barden Act of 1946, also known as the Vocational Education Act of 1946. It was the also the first act to mention a vocational student organization by name and funds specifically related to the vocational agriculture student organization.

  5. More about laws… Public Law 81-740 (1950) Federally chartered a vocational student organization (established relationship between the student organization and the educational program) and tied the U.S. Office of Education to them. Established pattern of treating existing and future vocational student organizations as integral parts of vocational education.

  6. Vocational Education Act of 1963 Hooray! (and subsequent acts of 1968 and 1976)… Specified that vocational student organizations were an essential partof vocational instruction. Therefore, vocational education became a legitimate recipient of federal and state grant funds for the purpose of providing leadership and support to VSO’s and their applicable and appropriate activities.

  7. Carl D. Perkins Vocational &Technical Education Act of 2006 (Updated version of earlier Perkins laws passed in 1984, 1990, and 1998) Provides federal support for career and technical education. Provides resources to secondary and postsecondary career and technical education programs to support innovation and program improvement. Increased focus on academic achievement of career and technical education students.

  8. CTSO’s Today… CTSO’s are highly regarded as an integral part of career and technical education.
