If you are interested in attending a Career Technical Education conference and require Perkins funding, please follow the procedure below:
- Fill out the Conference Authorization Request form.
- Attach information regarding the conference such as:
- Agenda
- Registration fee
- Hotel Rates
- Airfare Rates
- Googlemaps if driving. The starting point for mileage should start from work to the conference venue or home to conference venue -- whichever is closer.
- Fill out the Request for CTEA funding form. This will assist with our reporting of activities to the state at the end of the fiscal year.
- If the conference is out of state – fill out the Out of State Travel Request Form in addition to the Conference Authorization and Request for CTEA Funding forms.
Within the form, please provide a link to the conference website. Out of State Conference Request forms need to be submitted six (6) weeks prior to the conference as we need to obtain permission from the state monitor.
Please send the above forms and any supporting documents to The Office of Workforce & Economic Development at least twenty one (21) days prior to in-state conferences and six (6) weeks prior to out-of-state conferences.
The grant funding provided by The Office of Workforce & Economic Development does not allow for international travel.
