Credentials and Articulation Agreement

 
CTE Industry-Recognized Credentials

Many CTE Courses offer an industry credential certification which is free to our students and counts as the Proof of Learning.
 
The attainment of an industry-recognized credential ensures that students graduate from high school globally competitive for work and postsecondary education.
 
An industry-recognized certification or credential helps businesses: 
  • Save many hours of training time because their new hire is already trained.
  • Be confident that the credential holder has already learned a specific set of skills.
 
An industry-recognized certification or credential helps students:
  • Validate their knowledge and skill attainment with an industry-recognized certification.
  • Stand out in a field of job applicants.
  • Start at a higher salary level.
