Common Criteria and Quality Indicators (CCQI)

CCQI

The criteria, along with the supporting quality indicators, are designed to provide guidance and direction in establishing, maintaining, and evaluating quality career and technical education (CTE) programs. 

Every approved CTE program must submit a CCQI in order to remain in good standing as an approved program and to receive Enhancement Grant and 50/50 funds. It is of the utmost importance that a CCQI is submitted for the correct program (see directions below).

A CCQI is NOT required at this time for adult programs.
