The Transforming Education through College and Hands-On Training Act, or TECH Act, modifies eligibility criteria for certain federal grant programs to ensure that qualified technical schools can participate on the same basis as 2-year and 4-year institutions of higher education. The bill defines "qualified technical school" as a postsecondary vocational institution offering eligible career pathway or job training programs. It requires the Department of Education and the Department of Labor to modify their grant programs to include these schools.
