Texas Skill Standards Repository
Welcome to the Texas Skill Standards Repository.
All Texas Workforce Investment Council recognized skill standards are stored here. Recognition means that the standards have met criteria for procedural and content validity and reliability according to the Guidelines for the Development, Recognition, and Usage of Skill Standards and Developing Skill Standards: A User's Guide.
All skill standards are submitted by industry groups and required to be reviewed, and updated as necessary when there are substantive changes to the work-oriented information.
The skill standards are listed in alphabetical order by title, followed by information about the standards:
- ITAC Convenor: the name of the group which led the development effort and/or authored the skill standards
- CR or R: the format in which the standards are presented:
- Conditionally Recognized (CR) - the standards are presented in the ITAC Convenor's format
- Recognized (R) - the standards are presented in Texas Skill Standards format
- Sector/CIP Code: the categories to which the standards belong:
- Sector - the related Industry Sector
- CIP Code - workforce program codes which identify related degree and certificate programs
- National Career Cluster: the national career cluster category to which the standards belong. Skill Standards-Career Clusters Matrix
