HELPING STUDENTS WITH DISABILITIES PREPARE FOR THE WORKFORCE

THE SOUTH CAROLINA HIGH SCHOOL EMPLOYABILITY CREDENTIAL OFFERS APPLICABLE
STUDENTS WITH DISABILITIES THE OPPORTUNITY TO WORK TOWARDS A UNIFORM,
STATE-RECOGNIZED CREDENTIAL.

South Carolina has roughly 100,000 students with disabilities serviced under the
Individuals with Disabilities Education Act (IDEA), of which the majority are
able to earn a state high school diploma.

Given the varying levels of student achievement, as well as the inability to
complete required high school coursework, there was a need to provide an
alternative option for students with disabilities to demonstrate their ability
to transition into the work community.

The uniform state-recognized South Carolina High School Employability Credential
is aligned to a course of study for these students with disabilities whose
Individualized Education Program (IEP) team determines this course of study is
appropriate.




EVIDENCE OF EMPLOYABILITY SKILLS

TO ALIGN WITH THE STATE’S PROFILE OF THE SOUTH CAROLINA GRADUATE, THE SOUTH
CAROLINA HIGH SCHOOL EMPLOYABILITY CREDENTIAL WILL ASSIST STUDENTS IN ACQUIRING
NECESSARY SKILLS TO BE SUCCESSFUL AFTER HIGH SCHOOL.

The purpose of the South Carolina High School Employability Credential is to
provide job-readiness opportunities for students throughout the state, ensure
they have evidence of employability skills, and honor the work they have
undertaken in our public schools.

TO EARN A SOUTH CAROLINA HIGH SCHOOL EMPLOYABILITY CREDENTIAL, STUDENTS ARE
REQUIRED TO:

 * Earn 24 units of credit that include coursework aligned with the South
   Carolina College- and Career-Ready Standards.
   
   
   

 * Obtain work readiness assessment results that demonstrate the student is
   ready for competitive employment.
   
   
   

 * Complete a career portfolio that includes a multi-media presentation.
   
   
   

 * Complete at least 360 hours of work-based learning/training.
