2018-19 CATS Secondary Program Approval File Deadline is May 31 (May 6, 2018)

The 2018-19 CATS Secondary Program Approval file is now open for new secondary CTE program approval requests.  The CATS file is a series of individual pages containing data elements pertaining to various aspects of approved CTE programs.  The Bureau recommends that approval for programs of study (POS) be sought for all programs for which a POS exists.  For programs for which a POS has not been developed, seek Tech Prep approval.  All approved programs must be delivered as POS or Tech Prep.  All industry certifications MUST be entered for the teacher and students.  The deadline for seeking new program approval is May 31, 2018. CATS can be accessed at the login on PDE’s homepage. If you have any questions, please contact Tammy Keisling, by phone (717)783-6996 or email [email protected].
