Industry Certification
IC @ AHS
Industry certifications are earned through secondary and postsecondary career and technical education (CTE) programs and courses. High school students are encouraged to focus their elective credits on robust, career-aligned learning pathways. Robust learning pathways should culminate with the achievement of nationally recognized industry certifications, meaningful work based learning experiences, and/or attainment of postsecondary credit hours through early postsecondary opportunities. As it pertains to industry certifications, all department-promoted certifications are aligned with postsecondary and employment opportunities and with the competencies and skills that students should have acquired through their chosen programs of study.

Industry Certifications courses provide students with a great opportunity to:
obtain certifications to be workforce ready while in high school.
