Harford receives state Perkins funding for career and technical education

Harford Community College has received funding from the Maryland State Department of Education, Division of Career and College Readiness in the amount of $219,638. This funding is provided under the Strengthening Career and Technical Education for the 21st Century Act of 2018, referred to as Perkins V.

Perkins V offers states and local education agencies a framework to create equity within Career and Technical Education (CTE). Marginalized communities and underrepresented student groups are the focus of the funding within community colleges' existing or anticipated CTE programs.

Harford Community College will use the funds for biennial needs assessment; to conduct professional development training; hire a lab assistant; hire college and career navigators for teacher education majors and students in the Computer Support Technician Academy at the Edgewood Library; hire tutors for gateway and technology courses; pay for high-performance laptops for students in the P-TECH program at Joppatowne High School; purchase a bioreactor for the biotech program; and pay for exam fees for computer and technology credentialing.

The Business and Applied Technology division will be leading this program implementation enhancing career and technical education pathways at Harford. For more information: Marc Minnick, dean for Business and Applied Technology, at mminnick@harford.edu or 443-412-2382.
