Industry-based certifications are a valuable component of strong student pathways.

TEC §39.053 requires the Texas Education Agency (TEA) to account for high school students who earn an industry-based certification as one indicator within the student achievement domain of the state's public school accountability system. The purpose of the IBC list is to identify certifications that prepare students for success in the workforce, military, or postsecondary education.

Combined IBC Lists

IBC to Program of Study Crosswalk

Additional IBC Information

IBC Evaluation

The Texas Education Agency (TEA) understands that new developments in industry occur regularly. Therefore, the TEA will engage in a bi-annual review of the list of certifications. The TEA solicits feedback from industry councils and employers to determine certifications that are industry valued and recognized. A finalized list will be available in Summer of alternating years (beginning in Spring 2019). Please note that due to shutdowns caused by COVID-19, the 2020 evaluation and resulting list were postponed until 2021 and 2022, respectively.

IBC Certifications Earned by Graduates

IBC Re-evaluation Opportunity

Submission Closed 10/14/2022

Certifying entities with an IBC that was submitted for review and not approved for the 2022-24 list had an opportunity to request re-evaluation between September 19th and October 14th, 2022. Evaluation criteria are described in 19 Texas Administrative Code §74.1003. Information on the re-evaluation process is available here: Re-evaluation Process.

This site provides you with information on curriculum, programs, rules, and other information for Career and Technical Education (CTE). We welcome any suggestions you may have that will improve this site for individuals working to provide high quality career and technical programs for students. Join the CTE mailing list and receive updates.

Career and technical education programs offer a sequence of courses that provides students with coherent and rigorous content. CTE content is aligned with challenging academic standards and relevant technical knowledge and skills needed to prepare for further education and careers in current or emerging professions.

CTE Programs of Study

The Division of College, Career, and Military Preparation has engaged members of the workforce, secondary education, and higher education to advise on the development of programs of study, including coherent sequences of courses, industry-based certifications, and work-based learning to ensure students are prepared for in-demand, high-skill, and high-wage careers in Texas.

The programs of study go into effect for the 2020-2021 school year and will allow Texas to meet the federal program approval requirements within the Strengthening CTE for the 21st Century Act (Perkins V). Programs of study documents can be viewed by following the links below:

Perkins V State Plan

The Texas Education Agency (TEA) requests public comment on the state plan for the Strengthening Career and Technical Education for the 21st Century Act, also referred to as Perkins V.

On July 31, 2018, the president signed the Strengthening Career and Technical Education for the 21st Century Act (Perkins V) into Law. Perkins V includes key changes that will impact the implementation of CTE programs, such as an added emphasis on programs of study, the addition of a Comprehensive Local Needs Assessment, and the introduction of new program quality indicators. The Texas Perkins V four-year state plan, covering all of the requirements of the Act, will be submitted to the US Department of Education upon approval by the Governor and State Board of Education in spring 2020.

Stakeholders are encouraged to review the state plan and provide comments. The TEA has developed an electronic form to help stakeholders submit public comment. The public comment period closed on March 17, 2020.

Industry-Based Certifications (IBCs)

2019-2020 Approved Industry-Based Certifications for Public School Accountability

The Texas Education Agency (TEA) is releasing the updated list of industry-based certifications to be used for public school accountability. The new list of industry-based certifications is scheduled to go into effect for the 2019-2020 school-year and will apply to school accountability ratings in August 2021.

As the new list is reviewed, please make note of the following:

Business, Marketing and Finance clusters have been aligned together. In addition, Government & Public Administration has been aligned with the Law, Public Safety, Corrections and Security career cluster.

Industry-Based Certifications are valuable in multiple career clusters. An example of this is the Autodesk AutoCAD certification which aligns with several careers. If the certification is earned, a district should report the certification regardless of the primary cluster identified on the list.

State law requires that every Texas school district adopts an attendance accounting system that includes procedures to ensure the accurate recording and reporting of student attendance data. The Student Attendance Accounting Handbook (SAAH) contains the official attendance accounting requirements that all public school districts and open-enrollment charter schools in Texas must meet. The agency collects student attendance data primarily to ensure that Foundation School Program (FSP) funds can be correctly allocated to Texas's public schools.

The SAAH

describes the FSP eligibility requirements for all students,

prescribes the minimum standards for all attendance accounting systems,

lists the documentation requirements for attendance audit purposes, and

details the responsibilities of all district personnel involved in student attendance accounting.

The proposed version of the 2023-2024 Student Attendance Accounting Handbook (SAAH) has been added to the table below. The comment period for the proposed SAAH is June 16, 2023-July 17, 2023. Fill out this online form to submit public comments. This webpage will be updated with the final adopted version of the 2023-2024 SAAH after the completion of the comment period.

2022-2023 Comprehensive Local Needs Assessment Guidebook (Update)

One of the most significant changes introduced in the Strengthening Career and Technical Education for the 21st Century Act (Perkins V) is the comprehensive local needs assessment (CLNA). The law states local eligible recipients must complete a comprehensive local needs assessment related to career and technical education once every two years. The 2022-2023 CLNA (SC5600) is required for local education agencies (LEAs) applying for 2022-2023 Perkins funding. The CLNA guidebook is designed to assist Texas LEAs with the completion of the local needs assessment. The local needs assessment process is intended to be a regular part of a LEA's data-driven decision making and program improvement system.

Perkins V State Plan

On July 31, 2018, the president signed the Strengthening Career and Technical Education for the 21st Century Act (Perkins V) into Law. Perkins V includes key changes that will impact the implementation of CTE programs, such as an added emphasis on programs of study, the addition of a Comprehensive Local Needs Assessment, and the introduction of new program quality indicators.

The United States Department of Education (USDE)(outside source) recognizes the value of Career and Technical Student Organizations (CTSOs) and their place as an integral part of career and technical education (CTE). The responsibility for CTE instructional programs and related activities, including CTSOs, rests with state and local education agencies. The USDE allows states to use federal Carl D. Perkins funds to provide leadership and support for the CTE student organizations (Sec. 124).

The State of Texas and the Texas Education Code also recognizes the value of career and technical student organizations by emphasizing the importance of "participation by students and teachers in activities of career and technical student organizations supported by the agency and the State Board of Education (Sec. 29.182)."

TEA does not maintain the following sites. The links are provided as a service to the public. The agency takes no responsibility for difficulties which may result from the use of any website listed below.

This correspondence provides an update about the inclusion of military enlistment in the College, Career, and Military Readiness (CCMR) components of the academic accountability system and the CCMR Outcomes Bonus.

Under Texas Education Code, §39.053, annual graduates may receive CCMR credit for enlisting in the Armed Forces of the United States or the Texas National Guard. The Texas Education Agency (TEA) has worked with the Department of Defense (DoD) since 2017 to obtain student-level military enlistment data to award appropriate credit for this indicator. As such data have not been received, TEA has pivoted in its approach to collecting military enlistment data.

In an attempt to implement military enlistment into the accountability system, TEA collected enlistment data for graduates in PEIMS for 2017 and 2018 annual graduates. Due to discrepancies between annual enlistment counts for Texas military enlistees aged 17-19 released by the DoD and PEIMS military enlistment data for 2017 and 2018 annual graduates, TEA excluded military enlistment data from accountability and CCMR Outcomes Bonus calculations while it continued its work to obtain such data directly from the DoD. While this work continues, TEA will allow districts to provide documentation to support enlistment in the Armed Forces of the United States or the Texas National Guard. Beginning with 2023 annual graduates, TEA will award CCMR credit to graduates for whom the district uploads the required documentation.

Districts must obtain a completed DD Form 4 "Enlistment/Reenlistment Document-Armed Forces of the United States" from a student who has enlisted. The DD Form 4 must be completed in full, including all required signatures by the student and the enlistment officer. An example of the DD Form 4 is available from the DoD site here.

Districts will submit the completed DD Form 4 via a secure upload process. The submission window for 2023 annual graduates will occur in spring 2024. The submission window for 2024 annual graduates will occur in spring 2025, and so forth. TEA will review and securely store the DD Form 4. Graduates for whom a completed DD Form 4 is submitted will receive CCMR credit for military enlistment in both the academic accountability system and in CCMR Outcomes Bonus calculations.

The securely uploaded DD Form 4 document will be the only form of documentation accepted to document military enlistment for CCMR credit and will only be accepted via the process outlined above. If a district cannot obtain the DD Form 4 or does not upload the form during the official submission process, military enlistment credit will not be awarded.

For additional information on CCMR indicators, please visit the CCMR tab of the Performance Reporting Resources page.

Please direct questions to the Performance Reporting Division at (512) 463-9704 or performance.reporting@tea.texas.gov.

CTE Advisory Committees

Federal and State Laws mandate the creation and use of advisory committees. The Carl D. Perkins Law Section 122(c)(5) states that a school must create a plan that "describes how the eligible agency will actively involve parents, academic and career and technical education teachers, administrators, faculty, career guidance and academic counselors, local business (including small businesses), and labor organizations in the planning, development, implementation, and evaluation of such career and technical education programs" The Texas State Plan for Career and Technical Education additionally states that "Texas requires that eligible recipients annually evaluate their CTE program. Texas school districts have local advisory committees for CTE that are involved in decisions related to the implementation, improvement and evaluation of CTE programs."

2022-2023 Comprehensive Local Needs Assessment Guidebook (Update)

One of the most significant changes introduced in the Strengthening Career and Technical Education for the 21st Century Act (Perkins V) is the comprehensive local needs assessment (CLNA). The law states local eligible recipients must complete a comprehensive local needs assessment related to career and technical education once every two years. The 2022-2023 CLNA (SC5600) is required for local education agencies (LEAs) applying for 2022-2023 Perkins funding. The CLNA guidebook is designed to assist Texas LEAs with the completion of the local needs assessment. The local needs assessment process is intended to be a regular part of a LEA's data-driven decision making and program improvement system.

Perkins V State Plan

On July 31, 2018, the president signed the Strengthening Career and Technical Education for the 21st Century Act (Perkins V) into Law. Perkins V includes key changes that will impact the implementation of CTE programs, such as an added emphasis on programs of study, the addition of a Comprehensive Local Needs Assessment, and the introduction of new program quality indicators. The Texas Perkins V four-year state plan, covering all of the requirements of the Act, will be submitted to the US Department of Education upon approval by the Governor and State Board of Education in spring 2020.
The full plan can be viewed here:

Autocoding Information

The transition from self-reported data to an autocoded course completion system reported in PEIMS is effective for the 2020-2021 school year. The Perkins V Indicator report is generated from this data set to measure the performance of CTE programs in Texas at the local and state levels. The following resources will provide local education agencies (LEA) and stakeholders with information on the new autocode system. LEAs interested in developing a local version of the CTE autocode system can access the technical documents at PEIMS Calculation Tech Tips (updated for 2022-23) under CTE auto calculation.

Texas CTE Indicator Autocoding Codes and Definitions

Code 4 Not CTE

A Student who never completed any high school CTE courses.

Code 5 CTE Participant

A student who completes wither one high school CTE course for any number of credits or more than one high school CTE course for less than two credits (the student does not have to pass or receive credit).

Code E CTE Explorer*

A student who completes two or more high school CTE courses for a total of two or more credits and not a Participant, Concentrator, or Completer (the student does not have to pass or receive credit), or A student who completes, possess, and receives enough credits to be coded as a Concentrator or Completer in a Regional Program of Study, but completes the year in an unapproved region.

Code 6 CTE Concentrator

A student who completes and passes two or more high school CTE courses for a total of at least two credits within the same Program of Study and not a Completer.

Code 7 CTE Completer

A student who completes and passes three or more high school CTE courses for a total of four or more credits, including one level three or level four course, from within the same Program of Study.
*Regional programs of study may be approved in ESC geographic regions where there is specialized regional labor market demand for specific occupations. Students who complete the school year in an unapproved region and are a code 6 (Concentrator) or code 7 (Completer) in a regional program of study outside of approved geographic ESC regions are reassigned as a code E (Explorer).
