CPT HSED (Certified Production Technician High School Equivalency Diploma)
Literacy Services of Wisconsin
05/15/2023
The CPT HSED is a unique way to bridge those in need of a high school credential directly to a career pathway in the manufacturing trades. Participants in the program have the opportunity to earn their high school equivalency diploma by completing a curriculum based on competencies aligned with the nationally recognized and implemented Common Core State Standards alongside the Manufacturing Skill Standards Council Certified Production Technician (CPT) and Skill Boss certifications. The CPT+Skill Boss program is a standardized, comprehensive 120-hour manufacturing curriculum designed to prepare certificants with the next generation skills to work in a computer-driven, data-intensive advanced manufacturing workplace. This allows learners to apply their knowledge through projects, alternative assessments, hands-on learning modules, and experiential learning. Graduates of the program will leave with a DPI-issued HSED, the CPT and Skill Boss certificates, CPR and OSHA training. Show More

PLEASE NOTE:

If there are fewer than eight enrollments in the training program, only the "Enrollments" number will be displayed; all other data is hidden in order to help protect the students' identities. The "Employment Outcomes" are calculated using information from Wisconsin's Unemployment Insurance Wage database. Most employers are required to report certain employment information to the State of Wisconsin, including quarterly wage information for their employees. Students whose information could not be verified in this database are excluded from these outcomes. If a "0" shows for any of these outcomes, it means that none of the students' information could be verified.

MAKING SENSE OF THE EMPLOYMENT OUTCOMES:

"Average quarterly wages" means the total wages earned in a three-month period by all students who completed the program ("completers"), divided by the total number of completers.

"Median quarterly wages" means all the completers' quarterly wages are placed in order from lowest to highest and then we identify the student's wages in the middle. This information is provided because averages can be greatly influenced by really high and low wage earners.

To estimate monthly wages, divide the quarterly wages by three.
