It’s expected that two-thirds of all new jobs will require some kind of credential in addition to a high school degree. It’s imperative to empower students with resources to prove their knowledge and experience to future employers and institutions as they enter into high-skill, high-wage, high-demand careers in the 21st Century. With so many other electives and AP® course options, how can we encourage students to invest the time to stay within a career pathway?
