Diploma Endorsement

Purpose of this presentation:Gather support for a Career and Technical, Diploma Endorsement (DE) for Career Cluster/Area of Concentration “Government and Public Administration, JROTC”

BackgroundCluster exists, but does not earn a DE

State Brd of Ed. logic (Patricia Merrick, C/T) “No traditional industry certification”State Brd of Ed. logic - “No accountability for work based learning hours”

Consequentially – JROTC students must earn an academic endorsement or be relegated to a “standard” diploma, without endorsement

Page 3: Diploma Endorsement Career and Technical JROTC

Myth “No traditional industry certification:JROTC programs do:

Represent an industry certificationJROTC graduates are given advanced pay grades

upon graduation and enlistmentJROTC graduates are given technical training upon

enlistment, based on ASVAB scoresJROTC graduates have a 95% employment

opportunity upon graduation with full medical, dental, housing, subsistence, post secondary education, technical training, and retirement programs

JROTC graduates, as an organization, have a better chance of receiving ROTC scholarships (28%) and nominations to the service academies

Diploma Endorsement

Industry Certifications have certification tests, so does the military:Armed Services Vocational Aptitude Battery

(ASVAB):Three hour testQuestions are related to a number of vocational/technical

areasEach vocational area is graded and used to determine

potential enlistees best vocational matchesJROTC graduates typically score above the national

average

Page 5: Diploma Endorsement Career and Technical JROTC

Myth “No Accountability system for industry work based learning hours”JROTC programs do:

Have an in-place computer program, Joint Unit Management System (JUMS) that:Maintains a complete Human Resources file

on each cadetAcademic/training records, community

service, participation and unit service, job performance, awards, promotions, and physical fitness

Supply records of uniforms and equipment

Diploma Endorsement

Myth “JROTC Instructors are not industry certifying agents”The Instructors are:

Retired Naval Officers, Senior Naval Science Instructors (SNSI) 98% are college graduates, Degrees vary from Associate of Arts to PHds. Highly Qualified by experience, minimum of 20 years.

Retired senior enlisted (E-6 and above), Naval Science Instructors (NSI). 42% hold Associate of Arts degrees or higher. Highly Qualified by experience, minimum of 20 years.

All instructors are certified by a board of senior Naval Officers and selected based on “excellence” during time of service.

JROTC Instructors are the best INDUSTRY CERTIFYING agents on school campuses
