Description:
This descriptive study from the Regional Educational Laboratory Appalachia examined the CTE credentials that Virginia high school graduates most commonly earned from 2011 through 2017. During this time period, the five most commonly earned CTE credentials in Virginia remained the same, but the percentage of students earning the Workplace Readiness Skills (WRS) and W!se Financial Literacy Certification credentials increased. The study also looked at the top 10 credentials earned by 2017 Standard diploma graduates across a variety of student subgroups, including English learner students, economically disadvantaged students, students with disabilities, and racial/ethnic subgroups.
