This metric is part of the Education-to-Workforce (E-W) Indicator Framework, specifically “Outcomes and milestones” which pertain to key outcomes and milestones along the E-W continuum that are strongly associated with individuals achieving economic mobility and security.
This metric (Percentage of students enrolled in a credit or non-credit CTE program who earn at least one industry-recognized credential)is a measurement for a key indicator, “(Industry-Recognized Credential)” and measures whether individuals complete at least one industry-recognized credential, as defined by each state.
PS – Percentage of students enrolled in a credit or non-credit CTE program who earn at least one industry-recognized credential.
Calculating a Response:
Use the following CEDS elements to determine the school year for which the data will be measured:
1. Academic Year Designator = most recent school year, representing July 1 through June 30
Use the following CEDS elements to determine the universe of students:
1. Pull all unique students which is determined by using a unique Person Identifier where Has Person Identifier Type = Student Identifierand Has Person Identification System = State
2. Where the Student:
a. is associated with a Postsecondary Institution through the Organization Identifier where the Organization Identifier Type = Office of Postsecondary Education Identifier
b. Has Role = PS Student
From the universe of students, identify students enrolled in a credit or non-credit CTE program who earn at least one industry-recognized credential using the following CEDS elements:
- Career and Technical Education Participant = Yes
- Program Type = Career and Technical Education
- For students enrolled in a credit CTE program, Has Course Credit Units = Carnegie Units, Clock Hours, Continuing Education Units, Other, Quarter, Semester, Units
- For students enrolled in a non-credit CTE program, Has Course Credit Units = No Credit
- Program Participation Status = Active
- Program Participation Start Date ≤ end of school year being reported
- Program Participation Exit Date ≥ beginning of school year being reported
To determine the percentage of students enrolled in CTE who earn at least one industry-recognized credential, use the following calculation instructions:
Divide the total number of students who are enrolled in a credit or non-credit CTE program who earn at least one industry-recognized credential by the total number of students who are enrolled in a credit or non-credit CTE program. Multiply by 100.
