Click Here to view a collection of recommended industry-recognized credentials (IRCs) in Career and Technical Education pathways that students may earn during or immediately following high school. Credentials included here should be those that employers recognize as favorable or preferential when recruiting, hiring, promoting, and retaining their workforce. The list is meant to be flexible and continuously updated; therefore we encourage and welcome feedback from industries hiring in CTE career pathways. There are tabs sorted by career areas–Information Technology, Health Sciences Technology, Finance and Business Services, Arts & Communication, Agriculture, Foods and Natural Resources; Manufacturing, Engineering, Technology and Trades; Human and Public Services, and one tab with unspecified career areas (may apply to many).
In FY21, almost 3,000 industry credentials were earned by MACS area high school students!
