Dual Enrollment and Industry Based Credential (IBC) Course Policy

Dual Enrollment is an accessible way to introduce students to college-level courses while in high school. They can earn both high school and college credit, which results in helping students better prepare for college and potentially decrease their time and cost on their path to college graduation. Current partners include:

  • Delgado Community College
  • University of New Orleans

 

An Industry Based Credential (IBC) is tangible evidence that an individual has successfully demonstrated skill competencies in a specific set of work-related tasks, a single occupational area, or a cluster of related occupational areas as recognized by a specific industry. It has been suggested that IBCs are an individual’s passport into the new economy. We partner with local training providers who offer courses that prepare students for IBC exams.

New Harmony training provider partners include:

  • NOTEP (New Orleans Technical Education Provider)
  • NOVAC (New Orleans Video Access Center)
  • Operation Spark
