Before establishing a Career Technical Education or Occupational Education Program, a job market study of the local region must be conducted and reviewed every two years to justify the need for the program being offered.
The study shall consider a supply analysis of existing career technical education training programs for adults maintained by high schools, community colleges, and other postsecondary educational institutions in the geographic area to ensure that the anticipated employment demand for adults enrolled in the proposed training program justifies the establishment of proposed courses (EC 84906 (a)(3)(A).
