Guidelines are also to be developed for schools to work through their LSIC’s and business partners to communicate these skills and attributes to students. This section is followed by provisions that require information to be easily accessible to students within the career and technical cluster and major programs of study, and to their parents, on the community and technical college programs that aligned with their high school program and lead to industry recognized credentials, certificates of applied science and associate degrees. Information is also to be provided on apprenticeship and occupational licensing requirements toward which the student may have already gained credit through their secondary programs. Finally, the bill provides for students to receive a transcript from the post-secondary institution from which they earned dual credit. The balance of the bill strengthens the focus on program integration between public school career and technical programs and post-secondary community and technical college programs leading to high demand, high wage jobs, and on identifying when the competencies that students have already gained count toward occupational licensure.","status_desc":"Signed by Governor","status_date":"2019-04-11","last_action":"Chapter 97, Acts, Regular Session, 2019","last_action_date":"2019-04-11","committee":null,"chamber":"House","url":"https://legiscan.com/WV/bill/HB2004/2019","state_link":"http://www.wvlegislature.gov/Bill_Status/Bills_history.cfm?input=2004&year=2019&sessiontype=RS&btype=bill","sponsor":"Paul Espinosa"},
