The "Programs" tab on the View Student Data page in jmc makes it easy to track students participating in Career and Technical Education (CTE) programs, especially those earning Industry-Recognized Credentials (IRCs). With jmc, schools can easily document student progress in CTE pathways and maintain accurate records of IRC achievements that support career readiness and future opportunities.
What Are Industry-Recognized Credentials?
Industry-Recognized Credentials (IRCs) are certifications awarded by accrediting bodies, trade associations, or professional organizations to validate a student's expertise in a specific field of study. In jmc, "Program History" records—accessible under the "Programs" tab— on the View Student Data page—document a student's Career and Technical Education (CTE) program and earned credentials. This information connects each student's IRC to both their school and the state of Iowa.
