Abstract | Inclusive postsecondary education (IPSE) programs for students with intellectual disability (ID) have grown tremendously over the last two decades. What started as a movement to make higher education accessible to young adults with ID has shifted into a concern for access and demonstrable improvements to the postschool lives of the IPSE students with ID. Within this outcome-focused landscape, IPSE program staff and administrators are largely unified in their aim to to purposefully support students toward positive postschool outcomes like employment and community integration. There is a growing momentum for IPSE programs to align with career and technical education opportunities to help students with ID attain industry recognized credentials (IRC). In this "Think College Insight Brief," we will discuss the importance of industry recognized credentials for IPSE programs alongside findings from a study recently conducted by researchers at the University of South Carolina.
