Today, ACTE released an update to its “What is a Credential?” fact sheet to help CTE supporters define and distinguish between different types of commonly awarded credentials.
The sheet describes different types of credentials and provides a chart that enables users to see the differences and similarities between credentials at a glance. Additionally, the fact sheet discusses other important terms relevant to the credential landscape such as recognized postsecondary credentials and non-degree credentials.
We encourage ACTE members and CTE advocates to share this resource with students and families, education and workforce leaders, and policymakers to improve the public’s understanding of the types of credentials offered by CTE.
