By 2018, fields like
construction and
manufacturing will
provide nearly 8 million
job openings, 2.7 million
of which will require a
post-secondary
credential.(Pathways to Prosperity, Harvard Graduate School of Education)
The U.S. now has
the highest
college dropout
rate in the
industrialized
world.(Pathways to Prosperity, Harvard Graduate School of Education)
CTE students are significantly
more likely than their non-CTE
counterparts to report that they
developed problem-solving,
project completion, research,
math, college application, work-
related, communication, time
management, and critical
thinking skills during high
school.

Forget Digging Ditches
Construction careers in
today’s market are all about
high-tech, high-stakes,
huge earning potential and
the opportunity to travel the
world. You might think that
a four-year degree is the
only path to success.
Let’s take a look at the facts:
• For 5 consecutive years Skilled Craft positions have remained the hardest to fill
• 27% of those with post-secondary licenses or certificates earn more than bachelor’s degree recipients
• The annual amount the average skilled craft professional makes over a recent college graduate is $6,242

The $140,000-
a-Year Welding
Job
Two-Year Degree and Special
Skills Pay Off for a Young
Texan
HOUSTON— Justin Friend ’s parents have
doctoral degrees and have worked as
university lecturers and researchers. So Mr.
Friend might have been expected to head for a
university after graduating from high school in
Bryan, Texas, five years ago.
Instead, he attended Texas State Technical College in
Waco, and received a two-year degree in welding. In
2013, his first full year as a welder, his income was
about $130,000, more than triple the average annual
wages for welders in the U.S. In 2014, Mr. Friend’s
income rose to about $140,000.

BUILD A LIFE.
Business leaders are
warning that once the
recession ends, they could
face shortages of qualified
workers in areas ranging
from non-residential
construction and energy to
information technology.
(Pathways to Prosperity, Harvard Graduate School
of Education)
81% of dropouts said that
“more real-world learning”
may have influenced them
to stay in school. A ratio
of 1 CTE class for every 2
academic classes
minimizes the risk of
students dropping out.(Association for Career & Technical Education)
Educators, at all levels,
are recognizing that
employers need
employees with skill
sets that the
conventional four-year
college degree does not
provide.(National Career Development Association)
The “College for All”
rhetoric that has been so
much a part of the current
education reform
movement needs to
broadened significantly to
become a “post high
school credential for all.”(Pathways to Prosperity, Harvard Graduate School of Education)

A Different Pathway to a Career
NCCER• NCCER develops standardized
construction and maintenance curricula
and assessments with portable
credentials.
• These credentials are tracked through
NCCER’s registry that allows
organizations and companies to track
the qualifications of their craft
professionals and/or check the
qualifications of possible new hires.
Curriculum
• Curriculum created by Subject Matter
Experts from industry and academia
throughout the United States.
• The NCCER curriculum, which
includes more than 70 craft areas, is
taught worldwide by contractors,
associations, construction users, and
secondary and post-secondary
schools.
http://www.nccer.org/curriculum?mID=105
Subject Matter Experts ensure exceptional
training programs meet or exceed national
industry standards.
Most trades are federally approved
apprenticeship programs.
Apprenticeships and pre-apprenticeships
are hot topics today
All modules require written test with 70%
required to pass
Most modules require a standardized
Performance Verification
No cost for the testing by NCCER
Becoming a craft professional starts now.
CTE programs, such as
welding, electrical or carpentry,
not only add hands-on
elements to the academic
experience, but can also lead to
an industry-recognized
credential.
California Community College System Stats

“How high is demand for welders to work in the shale
boom on the U.S. Gulf Coast?
So high that “you can take every citizen in the region of
Lake Charles between the ages of 5 and 85 and teach
them all how to weld and you’re not going to have
enough welders,” said Peter Huntsman, chief executive
officer of chemical maker Huntsman Corp.
So high that San Jacinto College in Pasadena, Texas,
offers a four-hour welding class in the middle of the
night.”
