CAPE Industry Certification Funding List

PURPOSE:

To specify the procedures and timelines for implementation of an industry certification process and adoption of the CAPE Industry Certification Funding List changes; changes to the industry certification process and funding list are required by House Bill 1507 (2021). This new rule will incorporate language from rules 6A-6.0573, Industry Certification Process, and 6A-6.0574, CAPE Postsecondary Industry Certification Funding List. As a result rules 6A-6.0573 and 6A-6.0574 will be repealed.

SUMMARY:

This new rule is created for the implementation of statutory changes included in House Bill 1507 (2021) to section 1008.44, Florida Statutes as they relate to the Career and Professional Education (CAPE) Act. These changes require the adoption of a single industry certification funding list for use in implementation sections 1011.62(1)(o), 1011.80, and 1011.81, F.S.  In addition to prior provisions, the rule has been reorganized and included references to the Master Credential List. Beginning with the 2022-23 school year, industry certifications must be included on the Master Credentials list adopted by the Credentials Review Committee to be eligible for inclusion on the CAPE Industry Certification Funding List. This CAPE Industry Certification Funding List adopted in this rule is a combination of the certifications approved for secondary FEFP funding eligibility and postsecondary school district and Florida College System performance funding.
