Benefits of Student Credentialing
This report, North Carolina Career and Technical Education (NCCTE) 2011-2012 Credentialing
Data, offers an accounting of information collected from the administration of 48 different
assessments in which students earned 91,629 credentials. The raw data is disaggregated by local
education agency, region, state, and industry credential.
While the use and obtainment of credentials by high school students has numerous benefits, a
prime outcome for educators is the ability to gauge the level of understanding regarding specific
skills and knowledge within a course of study and adjust instruction as needed to ensure student
competence. Additional benefits include:
Career and Continuing Education Preparation
High school students who have attained a credential have a documented skill set and are,
therefore, more marketable in the employment arena and better prepared to succeed in a
post-secondary environment. CTE has always excelled in its competency-based approach
to teaching and instructional evaluation. CTE programs can enhance this system by
providing students the opportunity to verify skills learned by passing external credential
examinations. CTE credentialing offers students evidence of entry-level skill attainment that
is relevant to careers and postsecondary education. Credentials earned in high school are
the foundation for additional post-secondary training and credentials that can be stacked on
top of the foundational skills.
Workforce Development Component
CTE programs are major contributors to a local education agency’s reputation as a prime
supplier of skilled entry-level workers for local communities as well as the state as a whole.
Business and industry normally consider external credentialing a reliable predictor of
success for entry-level employment. It is common for companies to use external testing to
screen applicants for the interview process—only interviewing candidates that can score
acceptably on a series of skill set tests that relate to their job application area.
Highly Qualified Teachers
A discussion of the benefits of credentialing cannot exclude the need for teachers to
become trained (certified) in an area aligned with the CTE programs they teach. Industry
certification with related training expands a teachers’ content background in the skill set
areas and job roles for which they train students. It also enables them to better explain the
requirements of specific jobs in a related career.

Credentialing Categories
Of the 91,629 credentials earned by students in North Carolina Public Schools during the 20112012 school year, each belong in one of the following three categories: a completed industry
certification program or a pathway examination that leads to a completed industry certification, a
state-issued professional license, or a certificate.
Completed Industry Certification or Pathway Examination
Certified Nurse Aide I and Microsoft Office Specialist are examples of completed industry
certifications that can be earned before high school graduation. It should be noted that
completed industry certifications may lead to entry-level jobs immediately after high
school, usually when that certification validates most of the essential skills of a particular
job (e.g., Nurse Aide I). Most industry credentials represent the validation of one or more
“skill sets” which represent only a portion of a job.
Many credentialing programs offer “pathway” examinations (e.g., Automotive Service
Excellence - ASE, A+, and CISCO) that lead to a completed industry certification in a
particular area and/or skill level. Other certification entities may refer to their examinations
as “complete” certifications (e.g., Microsoft Certified Professional, Microsoft Office
Specialist), but acknowledge that these are pathway examinations that are part of a formal
certification track (program) that requires multiple examinations for full program
certification.
State-issued Professional License
Licensures used for credentialing in secondary Career and Technical Education normally
represent validation of the essential skills needed for a specific job as determined by a
state licensing agency. Cosmetology licensure is an example. Many state issued licensures
are beyond the scope of secondary-level coursework.
Certificate
Certificate assessments gauge general skill attainment in a particular field/area, for
example the WorkKeys™ Career Readiness Certificate. Certificate assessments are
valuable tools in providing external evidence of knowledge.
Of note, while credentials are valuable to students as present or future employees, the rigor of
credentials may vary greatly depending on the skill set assessed.
North Carolina Career and Technical Education 2011– 2012 Credential Data

Criteria for Selecting Credentials
Credentials should be criterion-referenced tests. Criterion-referenced test scores reflect
the skill or behavior expected of an employee in a given career field. Norm–referenced
tests in comparison identify whether the test taker performed better or worse than others,
but not to what degree a prospective employee can perform a skill or demonstrate a
certain behavior.
Credentials should be industry driven or at least recognized. If national standards exist
for the career area or specific occupation, the credential should reflect the appropriate
scope of the national standards.
Credentials should align directly with some or all course objectives and/or provide proven
value to employers. When used for end-of-the-course tests, at least 80% of course content
must be assessed by the credential examination.
Credentials should be skill/experience appropriate for high school. Even though a
credential is a criterion-referenced test, is nationally recognized, and aligns with course
content, in some cases the credential examination targets employees that have years of
experience in the career field. Hence, most high school students would not possess that
depth of experience.
Recommended Credentials by Course
To provide LEAs concrete recommendations by course a list was developed by NCCTE
consultants that, per course, shows aligned credentials. If a credential is recommended, the name
and vendor contact is cited. The spreadsheet is posted to the CTE Director’s, Instructional
Management Coordinator’s, and the Career Development Coordinator’s Moodle Sites.
For questions or comments regarding credentialing please e-mail
ncctecredentialing@dpi.nc.gov or the applicable DPI CTE consultant.

North Carolina Career Readiness Certificate
North Carolina’s Career Readiness Certificate (CRC) is designed to meet the needs of both
th
employers and job seekers in this transitioning economy. NC ranks as the 5 highest state
in the nation for the number of CRCs issued.
The CRC is a portable skills credential that gives employers and career seekers an objective
measure of key workplace skills. It certifies that a person has workplace skills that are
transferrable between industry sectors and across jobs within a sector. The CRC is issued at four
levels: Bronze, Silver, Gold, and Platinum.
In North Carolina the CRC is based on three WorkKeys™ assessments: Applied Mathematics,
Locating Information, and Reading for Information.
For employers, the CRC offers a reliable means of determining whether a potential
employee has the necessary literacy, numeracy, and problem solving skills to be “job
ready.”
For job seekers, the CRC serves as a portable credential that can be more meaningful to
employers than a resume citing experience in a different job setting.
Below are statements from an employer and an economic developer regarding the North
Carolina’s CRC.
“Our vitality depends on a workforce that is able to adapt to change and operate in a
manufacturing environment that thrives on lean leadership principles. It is more imperative than
ever to make sure we’re hiring the best candidates in the marketplace. The Career Readiness
Certificate allows us to do just that.”
Bernadette Young, Human Resources for Energizer Battery
“It’s one thing to offer the location, land, and buildings, but the major concern of companies coming
into our area is whether there is a strong workforce within a 40-mile radius. We consider the
Career Readiness Certificate to be a work-ready program. This means that human resources
people don’t have to investigate to see if someone is a good candidate for a job.” Greg
Cummings, Director, Economic Development, Robeson County Economic Development
Commission
North Carolina high school students were awarded 29,249 Career Readiness Certificates
during the 2011-2012 school year.

Microsoft Information Technology Academy
In 2010, North Carolina Public Schools was the first state educational agency in the country to
enter into an agreement with Microsoft to pilot the statewide implementation of Microsoft
Information Technology Academy (ITA). As the largest ITA in the world, North Carolina Public
Schools provide students with real-world technology skills they need to be successful in college
and a career. These skills are validated by industry credentials recognized the world over. The
ITA also allows faculty to participate in professional development and earn industry credentials.
The ITA consists of web-based modules and instruction, which allow students to learn Microsoft
computer programs at their own pace in the classroom and at home.
During the 2011-2012 school year, North Carolina high school students earned 43,630
certifications through the Microsoft ITA. Wake County certified the most students with (3,544)
followed by Wayne County (2,200) and Union County (1,722). Charles B. Aycock High School in
Wayne County was the top ITA school in the state with 681 students certifying. Of those students
certifying, many have earned multiple certifications. To earn a Master certification, students must
pass the Microsoft Office Specialist exams for Word Expert, Excel Expert, PowerPoint, and any
one of Outlook, Access, OneNote, or SharePoint. A total of 72 students and teachers earned this
distinct certification in 2011-12. Southern Nash High School led the state with the most Master
certifications followed by Hoke County High School.
From August 2011 to May 2012, more than 250,000 United States students competed to
demonstrate their proficiency in utilizing the world's foremost desktop computing applications.
The top six finalists included three from North Carolina:
Microsoft Word 2010 -Dominick Cianfarra, Spring Creek High School
Microsoft Excel 2010 - Alex Bainbridge, Green Hope High School
Microsoft PowerPoint 2010 -Rachel Velasco, Cuthbertson High In addition, Alex
Bainbridge earned the bronze medal at the 11th annual worldwide competition in Las
Vegas.
“Proficiency with Microsoft software is a valuable skill to have in the workplace today,” said
State Superintendent June Atkinson. “Congratulations to these students who have taken this
step toward career readiness and to all of the teachers who have used the MSITA to refresh
and gain new technology skills.”
