Function

H.B. 15, "Career and Technical Education Amendments" passed in the 2009 General Session, requiring a legislative appropriation for career and technical education programs at Utah State University - College of Eastern Utah to be made as a separate line item.

USU-CEU provides open-entry, open-exit competency-based career and technical education programs, and emphasize short-term job training and retraining for southeastern Utah.
