Industry-Valued Credentials

Industry-valued credentials (IVCs) are identified by the New Jersey Department of Labor (NJDOL) as:

  • Valued — demanded by employers.
  • Portable — skills learned are transferable and provide broad opportunities.
  • Stackable — skills learned may lead to opportunities for continuous or advanced training and education.
  • Rewarding — lead to higher wages, career advancement and or increased job security.

The NJDOE analyzed the NJDOL IVC list by cross referencing every credential for each Career Cluster and identified them as either a Tier I or a Tier II IVC.

  • Tier I IVC — stackable credential
  • Tier II IVC — advanced credential and available for CTE program of study designation.
