FIRST INSERTION
Westside Tech preparing for Council on Occupational Education (COE) Reaffirmation of Accreditation
Accreditation is a status granted to an educational institution or program that has been found to meet or exceed stated criteria of educational quality and student achievement. COE, an institutional accrediting body gives attention not only to the educational offerings of the institutions it accredits, but to such other institutional characteristics as student personnel services, financial status, administrative structure, facilities, and equipment. The Council on Occupational Education is recognized as a national institutional accrediting agency.
Through its accreditation process, the Council seeks to stimulate the following: (1) validation of job skills; (2) certification of skills for local, state, regional, and national application; (3) portability of skill credentials; (4) placement of graduates in jobs related to preparation received; (5) facilitation of partnerships and consortia through which the United States can continue to compete successfully in the global economy; and (6) linkages among employers, policy makers, business and industry, labor, and other parties with vital interests in technical education.
The Council will send an out-of-state, 4- 6 member visiting team to review Westside Tech and it's Career and Technical Education Programs, May 11th - 14th, 2015.
