• Advise Students• Develop Sequential Curriculum• Offer Program Minor • Communicate The Potential For Industry Certification To
Add Value To Student Marketability And Advancement In The Workplace
• Monitor Changes
![Page 41: Innovation in Career and Technical Education through Industry Credentialing Dr. Leane Skinner Dr. Elisha Wohleb September 27, 2013.](https://reader031.fdocuments.us/reader031/viewer/2022032605/56649e725503460f94b71130/html5/thumbnails/41.jpg)
Research
• In a study at Auburn in 2002, only 9.8% of Alabama Business Educators held any type of industry certification.
• In a study at Auburn in 2005, pre-service business educators who had taken certification exams agreed that industry certification offers many benefits, including increased confidence.– Teachers who have more confidence with computer skills can
concentrate on teaching the application of the software rather than just specific “click” skills.
– Respondents strongly agreed (M = 3.47, Scale 1-4) that business educators with industry certification should receive additional compensation.
