Calculation of
College and Career Readiness
The College or Career Indicator is a percentage calculated by dividing the number of high school graduates
who have successfully met an indicator of readiness for college or career with the total number of graduates.
The College or Career Indicator measures the preparedness of students for college or careers upon exiting
Alabama’s K-12 school system. Possible consideration for College and/or Career Readiness may consist of one
of the following:
• Benchmark scores on the reading and math sections of the ACT test
• Qualifying score on an AP or IB exam
• Approved transcripted college or postsecondary credit while in high school
• Benchmark level on the ACT WorkKeys
• Approved industry credential
• Military Enlistment
Career Readiness Certificate Levels & Employability Skills
• Core employability skills for
approximately 30% of the jobs
• Core employability skills for
approximately 65% of the jobs
• Core employability skills for
approximately 90% of the jobs
• Core employability skills for nearly
100% of the jobs

ALABAMA HIGH SCHOOL DIPLOMA
This one approach to the Alabama High School Diploma removes the need for endorsements or the Alabama Occupational Diploma. The focus will be on the coursework taken that necessitates a clearly articulated
and individualized four-year high school plan built for each student based on the results from the KUDER academic and career interest assessment and middle school coursework.
