EXECUTIVE SUMMARY
CREDENTIALS EARNED BY SECONDARY NC CTE STUDENTS APPROACH 150,000
Credentials earned by secondary North Carolina Career and Technical Education (CTE) students
have increased steadily since 2010-2011, the first year data were collected in the state.
Credentials are endorsed by business and industry and document student mastery of skills
required for employment and advancement in a career.
The 2015-2016 NC CTE Credentialing Data report shows 140,097 credentials earned by NC CTE
students, an increase of nearly 500% from the 24,782 credentials reported in 2010-2011. In 20152016, student results were collected for 90 different credentials that include all NC CTE program
areas and career clusters. Individual students may report more than one credential earned.
TOP CREDENTIALS
Career Readiness Certificates, which are available in four different levels, were earned by 39,058
students. Microsoft Office Specialist PowerPoint (20,409) and Word (19,780) were also among the
most frequently earned credentials.
Students in Wake County report the highest number of credentials earned – 10,977. The school
systems with the highest percentage of credentials earned based on enrollment in CTE courses
were Bladen County Schools, Cherokee County Schools and Yancey County Schools.
HOW THESE DATA WERE COLLECTED
Educators and business and industry representatives recommend credentials each year that are
aligned to the CTE curriculum and valued by employers. Proposed credentials are investigated to
ensure they meet requirements for reporting.
Data are collected by student and matched to enrollment information. The majority of the NC CTE
credential results were collected directly from the credentialing agency. Additional results were
collected from students using third-party software. Care was taken to protect the confidentiality of
student information during the collection and analysis process.
MORE INFORMATION
The 2015-2016 NC CTE Credentialing Data report provides a more detailed analysis of credentials
earned by secondary NC CTE students. It includes statewide, regional, and individual school
district information disaggregated by student demographic information when available.

INTRODUCTION
INTRODUCTION
Since 2010-2011, when North Carolina Career and Technical Education (CTE) began
collecting data on credential attainment by secondary students, 606,499 credentials have
been earned – 140,097 in 2015-2016 alone!
For the purpose of this report, credentials are defined as certifications issued by
professional associations, vendors, or employers. Credentials demonstrate that the
student or employee “has acquired the designated knowledge, skills and abilities to
perform a specific job” (Bielick, Cronen, Stone, Montaquila & Roth, 2013). A credential can
be based on a written, oral or performance-based examination, or some combination of
the three, and may require a proscribed period of supervised practice after successfully
passing the exam.

Credentials differ from licenses, which are generally issued by a governmental entity.
Licenses frequently are required for a practitioner to enter a field, while credentials help
potential employees get hired or qualify them for a higher pay level but are not legally
mandated.
A 2014 report from the U.S. Census Bureau found nearly a quarter of adults, 11.2 million
people, had some sort of non-degree credential, and these workers were more likely to be
employed and earned more than their counterparts without credentials (Ewert &
Kominski, 2014). Writing about the Census Bureau findings, Massie (2014) reported that
2015-2016 NC CTE Credentialing Data

INTRODUCTION
credentials often give employees a leg up on the competition. “In this shifting economy,
one way that job seekers, students and workers may improve their opportunities is by
earning credentials.”
Earnings of workers with credentials can outpace those of workers who have degrees. In
fact, “17% of people with post-secondary licenses or certificates – credentials short of an
associate’s degree – earn more than the average bachelor’s degree recipient” (Austin,
Mellow, Rosin & Seltzer, 2012). The best long-term scenario is expansion of credentials
that are portable, meaning they are accepted anywhere around the country, and
stackable, meaning they can be combined with other, related credentials to create a
portfolio of workers’ skills, they wrote.
Secondary students benefit from earning credentials in a number of ways, including the
following:
 Credentials provide an advantage to students seeking entry-level employment as
they document student proficiency in required skills against a state or national
standard.
 Employees with credentials may start at a higher pay rate or be eligible for a pay
raise or promotion more quickly than employees without a credential.
 Because the cost of the credential is usually covered by local or state sources,
students can save considerable money as they prepare for their future careers.
 As credentialed employees, students are able to earn money for postsecondary
education through employment that is well paid and often provides experience in
their chosen field.
 Preparing for the credential examination educates students about what it takes to
be successful in their field and exposes them to networking opportunities that can
smooth their transition to the world of work.
This document provides further details on credentials earned by NC CTE students.

STATEWIDE RESULTS
Nearly 89,000 students earned credentials in 2015-2016. The 89 different credentials
available to students included those that measured workplace readiness skills (for
example, the Career Readiness Credential from ACT WorkKeys), general job skills
applicable to a number of different careers (for example, Microsoft Office Specialist
certifications in Word, Excel, PowerPoint and Access), and specific job-related proficiency
(for example, Nurse Aide).
CAREER READINESS CREDENTIAL
The ACT WorkKeys examination is administered each year to CTE Concentrators, students
who earned four related technical credits, at least one of which was at the second level.
WorkKeys measures students’ employability skills in three areas – Applied Mathematics,

MICROSOFT OFFICE SPECIALIST CERTIFICATIONS
Through an agreement with Microsoft Corp., Certiport, and NC Department of Public
Instruction, students can take Microsoft Office Specialist (MOS) and other Microsoft
certification examinations at no charge. During 2015-2016, more than 51,000 MOS
credentials were earned by NC CTE students.

Microsoft Office Specialist is a widely recognized certification that ensures students are
highly skilled in the use of Microsoft Office products. A number of North Carolina students
and teachers demonstrated an even deeper level of skills needed to proficiently use Office
programs by earning a Microsoft Office Specialist Master certification. This requires
earning certifications in four or more applications with an expert level in at least one. In
2014-2015, approximately 180 students earned the MOS Master certification. In 20152016, students earned 397 MOS Master certifications! In addition, 27 teachers from
across the state earned the Master certification, enhancing their personal professional
development. North Carolina’s Certiport partners recognize the state as a pioneer and
worldwide leader for this accomplishment.
OTHER CREDENTIALS
In addition to the Career Readiness Credential and the MOS certifications, the highest
number of credentials earned were the following:
 NCCER, 8080
 EverFi, 7131
 CPR, 6506
 First Aid, 3732
Another program with impressive credential attainment is Fire Fighter Technology. The
Fire Fighter Technology program was first offered in North Carolina in 2008 and has since
expanded to 37 schools. The 1,630 students enrolled in one of the three Fire Fighter
Technology courses in 2015-2016 earned a total of 7,902 credentials! The Firefighter
courses are aligned to the Office of State Fire Marshal’s Firefighter Certification. Fire
Fighter Technology programs are run under an agreement with OSFM, which acts as the
official “Delivery Agent” for all the high school programs. The NC Fire and Rescue

Commission approved the program and the NC Fire and Rescue Commission Certification
Board approves the course blueprints prior to release/modification.
Credentialing has been part of the Fire Fighter Technology program since it started.
Students who complete this three-course sequence can earn up to 20 of the 23 modules
required to earn NC Firefighter Certification. They can be hired by local fire stations and
quickly complete the remaining certification requirements needed fgor the NC Fire
Fighter Certification.

CONCLUSIONS
Since 2010-2011, secondary North Carolina Career and Technical Education students have
benefitted from the ability to earn business and industry-recognized credentials, often at
no cost to the student. Students have entered the workforce or further education better
able to demonstrate proficiency in skills that are important to employers.
Priorities for the coming year include the following:
 The list of credentials will be further expanded.
 NC CTE will continue to focus on developing better ways to collect and report on
credential data.
 The state will refine a process to comply with the NC General Assembly’s newly
approved law that provides for bonuses for teachers of students who earn selected
credentials.
 NC CTE will begin to develop a mechanism to report on secondary students’
credential attainment to the Office of Career, Technical and Adult Education of the
U.S. Education Department. Reporting directly on credential attainment of
secondary CTE students is anticipated to be required under the upcoming
reauthorization of the Carl Perkins Career and Technical Education Act.
