Official program source ↗Use the current high-school scholarship rules, not the separate adult Work Ready program.

Pearson dual enrollment ↗Evaluate eDynamic Learning curriculum and simulations for preparation; evaluate Certiport for relevant credential assessments and Credly for credential communication. These roles are separate from awarding academic college credit.
