Education Leadership Review, v25 n2 p65-85 2024
In this article, industry-based certification attainment rates were compared by student ethnicity/race as reported by the Texas Education Agency for the 2019-2020, 2020-2021, and 2021-2022 school years. Through analyses of Texas statewide data, statistically significant differences were revealed in industry-based certification attainment rates among Black, Hispanic, White, and Asian high school graduates. Black and Asian graduates had lower industry-based certification attainment rates than Hispanic and White graduates across the years analyzed. Of importance was that industry-based certification attainment increased for all ethnic/racial groups across the three school years.
