There are benefits for students who have attained a credential. They have a documented skill set, are more marketable in the employment arena, and are better prepared to succeed in a post-secondary environment. Credentialing offers students authentic evidence of skill attainment that is relevant to careers and continuing education.  

Below are the types of credentials made available to CTE students at Northeast High School.

A CTE Concentrator will take the ACT WorkKeys Exam to possibly earn the WorkKeys Career Readiness Certificate. 

A CTE concentrator is a senior who has completed two or more CTE courses in sequential order within a Career Pathway over their high school career.

The WorkKeys Career Readiness Assessment is a system that measures essential workplace skills. It can also provide employers with needed information for career advancement. By completing the assessments, you can earn the National Career Readiness Certification (NCRC). 

The NCRC is an assessment-based credential issued at four levels; Platinum, Gold, Silver, and Bronze. It measures and certifies the essential work skills needed for success in jobs across industries and occupations.
