- CTE Dual Credit may count as elective credit at 4-year colleges.
- Showcase credits on your resume when applying for a job, scholarship, or apprenticeship.
- Send official college credits to your military recruiter (12+ credits may qualify you for higher pay).
- Transfer credits to any community or technical college in Washington state to jump‑start a career in an in‑demand field.
High school credit is awarded automatically in accordance with your high school's policies.
