CCPE
What is a CCPE?
CCPE stands for College and Career Pathway Endorsement. This is a state-recognized credential that appears on a student’s high school diploma. Public Act 102-0917 requires Illinois school districts to offer at least one endorsement area beginning with the graduating class of 2027.
Each of our member districts offers different types of CCPEs. Interested students should reach out to their school counselor to discuss available options.
Why Get a CCPE?
Once earned, a CCPE demonstrates to colleges and employers that a student has completed an individualized career preparation program and is ready for the next step in their field.
