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.
Obtaining an Industry Valued Credential (IVC) is a method districts can use to meet the requirement that a Program of Study culminates in the attainment of a recognized postsecondary credential. Previously, NJDOE analyzed credentials provided by the New Jersey Department of Labor and aligned them to CIP codes and assigned them a designation of Tier I or Tier II.
- Tier I IVCs were defined as stackable credentials and not eligible to be used as a pathway for Program of Study Status.
- Tier II IVCs were defined as advanced credentials and were eligible to be used as a pathway for Program of Study Status.
In 2024, the NJDOE proposed and gained approval from the Credentials Review Board for an evidence-based submission and review process to enable districts to offer additional IVC to students as a pathway for meeting legislative requirements.
