144 Grads Receive Workforce Readiness and CTE Designation

One hundred forty-four NSD graduates are receiving the Workforce Readiness and Career Technical Education (CTE) seal on their Nampa School District diploma this year. The 2021 Idaho State Legislature created this recognition to acknowledge how CTE programs enhance students’ high school experience and prepare them for the demands of today’s employers.

Students are eligible for this designation if they have:

  • Passed the State Approved Technical Skills Assessment for their pathway
  • Passed the State Approved Workplace Readiness Assessment
  • Earned all pathways microcertifications with SkillStack or approved industry certification.

The Idaho Division of Career and Technical Education notes that, “Twenty-first-century graduates are expected to have more skills than ever before. Not only must they have strong academic skills in reading, math, and science, but they must also be able to apply these skills in the workplace. CTE programs are designed to ensure graduates obtain the academic and technical skills that give students multiple pathways to success.”
