Integration is Key

NC3 certifications can be applied across multiple industries creating flexible, stackable, and relevant credentials to students and employers of all kinds. NC3 certifications are built to be integrated into an existing technical program to enhance what was already being taught. By integrating NC3 industry certifications into existing courses, classrooms achieve the best of both worlds by introducing kinesthetic learning opportunities, industry-valued competencies, and providing students with employment opportunities and relevant job-ready skills.

CTE Fundamentals for Every Program

These NC3 certifications are critical, fundamental skills that can be applied across all of your CTE programs creating flexible, stackable, and relevant credentials to students and employers of all types. These certifications may be easily added into your classroom first as a foundational skillset.

Certifications by Program
