Many high schools currently offer career technical education courses in addition to the academic courses students are required to take. These courses can prepare students for licensure or certification in a specific job area. However, most of these licenses or certificates require an application and in many cases, a test. Assembly Bill 973 requires state departments or agencies responsible for the certification, licensing, or examination to waive any applicable fees for high school students and recent graduates who completed the necessary career technical education courses. Once they are licensed or certified students can obtain employment and put to use the skills learned in career technical education courses.
