Engage, Educate, Empower…
Career-Ready
College-Ready
“The basic premise is that the responsibility of K-12 educators is to prepare all
students for both college and a career. This must be “both/and”, not “either/or”.
Students need the same set of skills for both college and the workplace. Academic
skills, critical thinking, problem-solving, an ability to synthesize information,
communication skills, and the ability to work well on a team”
-- Arne Duncan February 2, 2011

licenses or certificates—credentials short of
an associate’s degree—earn more than the
average bachelor’s degree recipient.”

Prosperity: Meeting the Challenge of Preparing
Young Americans for the 21st Century, 2011

Industry Certification Updates
• “The Lists”
↓Comprehensive Industry Certification List
– Industry Certification Funding List
• 2011-12 Industry Certification Funding List http://www.fldoe.org/workforce/fcpea/pdf/1112icfl.pdf
• NEW – Each certification was weighted in 0.3 in the
original legislation; now each certification will be weighted
0.1, 0.2, or 0.3.
10
Level of Exam Difficulty
• Many exams require a certain number of
instructional hours as well as field experience
(i.e. ASE, ProStart, National CDA, etc.)
• Some exams simply do not fit high school
maturity levels (paper certification does not
equate maturity level on the job)
