Get hands-on help completing your 2026 CLNA and strengthen your Perkins plan impact.
 
Join us for a workshop designed to support you through the Comprehensive Local Needs Assessment (CLNA), a requirement under Perkins V legislation. The CLNA process includes reviewing your local CTE landscape through labor market information, student performance data, program quality, and community needs.
 
You will identify strengths and gaps in your CTE programs and use that information to make informed decisions about improving and expanding programs to better serve students and your local workforce. Time will be built in during the afternoon for you to actively work on your CLNA with guidance from Region 7 CTE staff.
 
What you will gain from this workshop:
  • Understand CLNA requirements and timelines
  • Analyze key data elements for Perkins V compliance
  • Apply best practices for aligning programs to labor market needs
  • Receive hands-on support from Region 7 staff during the work session
