State-Approved Industry Recognized Credentials List
The Approved IRCs List provides teachers and administrators with suggested credentials most beneficial for Iowa students enrolled in CTE programs transitioning to postsecondary education/training or entering the workforce directly from high school. Perkins funds can be used to pay for the cost of student assessments that lead to a credential or certificate, or schools may use the Credentials to Careers Grant to pay for costs related to creating or expanding CTE service area programs resulting in students earning an approved IRC.
