Additional Career Readiness Options – Kentucky Board of Education (KBE)- Approved Cooperative Education and Internships
Prior to SB 25 (2023), the option to achieve career readiness in the alternative high school diploma course of study was to complete all four Career Work Experience Certification (CWEC) courses and meet benchmark on the ESAR. Refer to the Working with Exceptional Children in CTE for more information.
Now, students in an alternative high school diploma course of study have additional options for career readiness. A student who successfully completes a KBE-approved cooperative (co-op) education or internship that is aligned with a credential or associate degree, and which provides a minimum of 300 hours of on-the-job work experience is an indicator of postsecondary readiness in Kentucky's Accountability System. The KBE has approved a list of work-based learning (WBL) courses to be used for this indicator. The following CWEC course codes are now available and may be utilized for students enrolled in the alternative high school diploma course of study:
- Developing Career Options: 600184
- Developing Leadership Skills: 600190
- Experience in Workplace Principles: 600189
- Individualized Career Work Experience: 600185
UPDATE: The CWEC courses are now available in Infinite Campus (IC) to track co-op and internship hours associated with a course. Schools and districts should identify a staff member to be responsible for reporting student co-op and internship data in the “Career Readiness Record” tab in Infinite Campus (IC). Instructions on how to enter WBL records for students is available on the KDE KSIS Data Standards webpage and can be found in the Career Readiness – Work-Based Learning Data Standard document. There is also a Career Readiness Report in IC that will help schools and districts validate WBL records.
For students whose work experiences are not associated with a co-op course code and have completed 300 on-the-job hours with an employer partner and the school or district aided with the student’s work experience, the school or district may apply to the KBE to earn accountability for school-sanctioned individual work experience that was not associated with a course code.
