IA HSB675

Reorganizes Iowa's six career and technical education (CTE) service content areas to align with a national framework, updating categories to include: agriculture/food/natural resources, information systems, applied sciences/technology/engineering/manufacturing, health sciences, human services, and business/finance/marketing/management.

Adds statutory definitions for "high-demand occupation" (where labor market forecasting shows demand exceeds employer needs), "high-skill occupation" (requiring credentials, training, or degrees), and "high-wage occupation" (where at least 3 of 5 wage measurements exceed state/regional averages).

Requires the Iowa Department of Education to develop and publish industry-recognized credentials attainable by students in grades 9-12 that align with the six CTE service content areas.

Mandates implementation of a statewide lower division general education framework with common course numbering across Iowa's community colleges and institutions.

Directs implementation of a statewide corequisite model in Iowa community colleges to support student completion of college-level coursework.
