Why be a CTE Completer?
CTE completers take 4 courses from
a career cluster—one must be a completer course and one can be
an enhancement course. Completing a CTE cluster benefits you in the
following ways:
·
Around 95% of Martin County
Schools CTE completers leave high school with a diploma.
·
All CTE completers will have the
opportunity to prepare for and take the WorkKeys assessment which provides
students a national, industry-recognized work preparedness certificates at
the Bronze, Silver, Gold, and Platinum Level. This certificate has
become a prerequisite for working in numerous large industries throughout the
nation and is currently used by several industries in the Northeast.
·
Martin County Schools offers a
strong internship and apprenticeship program. Beginning in 2013-2014,
students must take their “completer” course before participating in an
internship or apprenticeship program.
·
Students who are completers learn
about opportunities in a career cluster and acquire skills and knowledge
necessary to be successful in the cluster.
·
Some CTE courses are eligible for
articulated credit with a B and a 93 post-assessment score. Many of
these courses are second level courses.
·
Beginning in 2013-2014, completers
who meet program guidelines will be eligible to participate in the National
Technical Honor Society. Students will be able to compete for the
scholarships. See https://www.nths.org/
for more information.
·
Beginning in 2013-2014, many
completer courses will carry honors credit. See your registration guide
for more information.

Articulated Credits
The
North Carolina High School to Community College Articulation Agreement
is an agreement between the North Carolina Department of Public Instruction
and the North
Carolina Community College System.
The North Carolina High School to Community College Articulation Agreement
provides a seamless process that joins secondary and postsecondary Career and
Technical Education (CTE) programs of study.
This statewide articulation agreement is comprised of approximately 50 high
school CTE courses that match the knowledge and skills taught in similar
community college courses. The articulation agreement ensures that if a student
is proficient in their high school course, the student can receive college
credit for that course at any North Carolina community college. This
streamlines the student's educational pathway by eliminating the need to take
multiple courses with the same learning outcomes.
To
receive articulated credit, students must enroll at the community college
within two years of their high school graduation date and meet the following
criteria:
- Final grade
of B or higher
in the course and
- A score of 93 or higher
on the standardized CTE postassessment
High
school students who enroll in a Career and College Promise pathway may earn
articulated college credit as described in this agreement while enrolled in
high school if the CTE articulated college credit is part of their Career and
College Promise pathway.
Community
college officials verify eligibility and acceptance of articulated courses
listed on the high school transcript. Students may be asked to submit
supporting documentation and/or demonstrate proficiency to receive credit.
Colleges must follow the criteria of the Southern Association of Colleges and
Schools (SACS) Commission on Colleges in awarding credit.
