Industry Recognized Credentials

The process of earning an industry-recognized credential allows students to experience education through work, about work, and for work. Students learn more deeply by practicing and applying their knowledge through work and employment experiences – learning through work. They learn about workplace expectations in terms of professional skills needed for employment, as well as learning about career pathways and what the labor market for particular occupations looks like – learning about work. They also learn job-specific skills they will need to perform day-to-day tasks – learning for work.  The ESC provides technical assistance for districts and schools to integrate industry-recognized credentials into new or existing coursework and pathways and to develop senior-only credentialing programs.
