Gold Standard Career Pathways Articulation Agreements

PURPOSE:

To adopt the 2021-2022 Statewide Gold Standard Career Pathways Articulation Agreements.

SUMMARY:

Since 2008, the State Board of Education (SBOE) has approved Gold Standard Career Pathways Articulation Agreements (GSCPAA) as recommended by the Articulation Coordinating Committee (ACC). Students who enroll in an Associate in Science (AS) or Associate in Applied Science (AAS) degree program at a state college and have earned an industry certification with an articulation agreement in an applicable AS or AAS degree will earn credit toward the applicable degree.  State colleges that offer degree programs with an articulation agreement will award the minimum guaranteed credit to students who have earned the related industry certification, as specified in the agreement. Each year, pursuant to Rule 6A-6.0573, Florida Administrative Code (F.A.C.), new industry certifications are added to the approved CAPE Industry Certification Funding List.  These articulation agreements are vetted by the faculty of Florida College System institutions that offer the corresponding AS or AAS degree programs to reach a consensus on the number of college credits to be awarded for the industry certification toward the applicable degree program.  The proposed articulation agreements are submitted to the ACC for review and approval and then submitted to the SBOE for final approval through rule adoption.  Once approved, they are published on the Agency’s website: http://fldoe.org/academics/career-adult-edu/career-technical-edu-agreements/industry-certification.stml. District career centers and colleges are notified of the agreements, and data reporting systems at the Community College and Technical Center Management Information System (CCTCMIS) are updated.  Currently, there are 175 active agreements.  Of those agreements, six have been removed because of a change in their industry certification status.  For the 2021-2022 academic year, 21 new agreements have been developed that are aligned with 17 industry certifications on the 2021-2022 CAPE Industry Certification Funding List.
