Additional Questions Regarding CTE Industry s How can my school offer CTE? Annually, the department of Career and Technical Education (CTE) accepts applications from high schools that are interested in opening new CTE programming through a CTE Academy(s) or Program(s). The Chicago Public Schools (CPS) looks for high schools to implement innovative approaches to their CTE programming. Schools should only apply for the CTE programs that are supported by labor market needs, provide students with rigorous college prep opportunities and are considered fiscally conservative with the equipment and capital needs. The application period for the 2013-2014 school year is closed. The next application should be available in December 2014. What is an industry-recognized certification/credential? Industry-recognized certifications/credentials offer a strategy for improving instruction and signaling that students have acquired a defined set of technical skills and knowledge. The benefits of industry-recognized credentials are many: High school CTE programs that lead to certificates and industry-recognized credentials can help young people find skilled employment and give them the option of later returning to school for a higher degree. Employers also benefit from a more highly skilled workforce with certifiable skills. Each industry-recognized certification/credential is aligned to specific programs of study. For example, Adobe Photoshop is an SQRP eligible certification for students who were part of the Digital Media pathway or the Web Design pathway because it is a credential that is highly valuable to those industries especially when coupled with the student s training in the field. I have a CTE program that offers a certification not listed here. How can my school get credit? If you have identified a certification that your current CTE program is offering that is not listed, and you would like to request that it count as an eligible certification for SQRP credit, you should fill out the Approval Request Form.
