2 What is Jump Start? Jump Start is the state s new initiative which provides students with basic and advanced credentials.

3 Terms associated with Jump Start Credential vs Certification -For the purposes of Jump Start, credential and certification are used synonymously (along with Industry Based Certification and IBC). Industry-Based Certification (IBC)-An IBC is a credential issued by an industry organization. IBCs are industrypromulgated (designed and issued by industry) and industry-valued (considered by companies when they evaluate job applicants). Employability Value-An IBC or credential has employability value when it will help a student attain entry-level employment. Credentials have greater employability value when they help students attain higher-wage employment. Statewide credential-credentials identified by the Workforce Investment Council (or WIC) related to highdemand job sectors (i.e., job sectors that have employment opportunities and pay higher wages). Advanced Statewide Credentials indicate a student has attained advanced industry-valued skills. Students that attain Advanced Statewide Credentials earn their schools 150 accountability points. Basic Statewide Credentials indicate a student has attained a basic proficiency with an industry-valued skill set. Students that attain Basic Statewide Credentials earn their schools 110 accountability points (vs 100 for graduation with a Regional Core credential). Core Credential-The credential(s) a student attains in order to graduate with a Jump Start Career Diploma. Each graduation pathway defines the culminating credential(s) a student must attain to graduate. Complementary Credential-A safety or computer literacy credential that has value across multiple industries. Some graduation pathways also offer other Complementary credentials related to a specific industry sector. Link to additional terms associated with Jump Start 3
