During each school year, the Victoria ISD Career and Technical Education (CTE) department conducts industry-based certification (IBC) testing for students from Victoria East and Victoria West high schools.

The CTE department and teachers have worked to prepare students for such assessments this year. So far, in the 2021-22 school year, more than 300 certifications have been earned by the students.

Certification test names, course(s), and amount earned are listed below by high school.

Additional industry-based certifications are offered during after-school homework centers, CCMR camps, additional course(s), and Saturday school.

VISD’s CTE programs collaborate with business, industry, and higher education to combine academics, workplace knowledge, and the skills that are essential to prepare the future workforce to succeed in an ever-changing global economy.

These programs offer students the opportunity to earn industry-recognized certifications, allowing for a seamless transition into the workforce upon graduation. These certifications and training can assist students to obtain a job that could pay for college or start a career straight out of high school. Many of the CTE courses offered are articulated with post-secondary institutions, so students are eligible to earn college credit at the same time as earning high school credit at no additional cost to students. Students will continue to test until the end of the school year and into the summer.
