$1.3 Billion Dollars slated for vocational education.

excellence reported, "lawmakers have approved a bill that guarantees federal support for vocational education through 2012, stymieing White House efforts to funnel the $1.3 billion that goes toward voc-ed programs each year into other areas. That's good news for the roughly 15 million students who take voc-ed classes, many of which increasingly rely on technology to prepare students for 21st-century careers".

Each year hundreds of students eligible for this type of assistance take Gatlin Education Services courses. If you are a Gatlin partner educational education institution and you seeking new avenues for reaching students in your community, contacting your local vocational rehabilitation office is a great way to serve these students in your community.
