All of the CTE data at the secondary level must be submitted through the NJ SMART system, under CTE Submission. The detailed information can be found on NJ SMART Resources and Trainings.

County vocational school districts with eligible Perkins postsecondary CTE programs must submit enrollment and performance data annually. In addition, as part of the administration of the Strengthening Career and Technical Education for the 21st Century Act (Perkins V), the NJDOE must collect CTE student and program performance data from the county colleges. The Vocational Education Data System (VEDS) information is crucial to the calculation of performance data to be included on the Perkins funding applications and on examining the success of the county colleges in fulfilling the goals of the CTE programs.
 
The CTE data required for VEDS must be submitted through the NJDOE Homeroom.
