State Promoted Industry Credentials
In Tennessee, workforce development through high-quality Career and Technical Education (CTE) programs and training is critical to our long-term success as a state. It is the mission of the Tennessee Department of Education (TDOE) to “set all students on a path to success” and for many Tennessee students, Career and Technical Education (CTE) serves as that pathway.
Industry credentials are often used as a measure of quality in Tennessee CTE programs and validate the technical skill and competencies students have acquired through their chosen CTE program. View the Tennessee Promoted Industry Credential List. Industry credentials factor into Tennessee’s school and district accountability framework under the Every Student Succeeds Act (ESSA) as part of the college and career readiness indicator, “Ready Graduate." The Ready Graduate Index is one of the required performance measures of the Tennessee Perkins V State Plan for the federal Strengthening Career and Technical Education for the 21st Century Act.
Despite certifications being approved for specific programs of study, any student may attempt to earn an industry certification. Learn more here.
