Arkansas Virtual Academy (ARVA), a full-time online and blended
public charter school serving K-12 students throughout the state,
was the number one public high school in Arkansas for providing
students with iCEV industry certification classes designed to take
them to the next career level.
ARVA students achieved 89 certifications, in coordination with
esteemed groups such as the Center for Financial Responsibility
Personal Financial Literacy Certification, Southwest Airlines
Professional Communications Certification, AMSA Culinary Meat
Selection & Cookery Certification, and more. And in total, ARVA
students successfully completed over 700 certifications across
multiple areas.
Industry certifications, tested for on the iCEV Industry
Certification Testing Platform, validate students' knowledge and
skills, infuse career-readiness into the classroom and jump-start
students' careers. Because industry certifications are based on
real-world industry standards, students who earn certifications are
more likely to experience academic and career success.
“It’s never too early to plan for one’s future,” said ARVA Head
of School Amy Johnson. “Whether a student is planning to enter some
form of post-secondary education or directly enter the workforce
following high school, earning an industry certification prepares
students for whatever educational or career path they choose. And
at ARVA, we help them get there.”
According to Indeed.com, there are currently over 53,000 open
jobs in the state. Programs like these help ensure that those who
earn certifications often achieve higher grades, secure better
employment opportunities, and earn higher salaries.
