Career Readiness
Career readiness means that a student acquires a skill set they need to find, maintain, and succeed within a career. The school district offers options for students to gain work experience and earn certificates to help them go straight into the workforce after high school graduation.
The Texas Education Agency (TEA) has defined a set of indicators that students can earn to be considered career ready. Students who meet one of these CCMR indicators are considered "CCMR-met."
