| Abstract: |
The article focuses on the importance of wraparound services in supporting special populations within Career and Technical Education (CTE) programs. It highlights how legislative acts like the Strengthening Career and Technical Education for the 21st Century Act (Perkins V) and the Workforce Innovation and Opportunity Act (WIOA) aim to empower individuals by providing essential career services alongside personal support. The literature review emphasizes the unique challenges faced by special populations, particularly student parents and foster care alumni, and underscores the necessity of addressing their basic needs—such as housing, food, and childcare—to enhance their academic and career success. The article advocates for collaboration among educational institutions and community organizations to ensure that these vulnerable groups receive the comprehensive support they require.
