The Industry-Recognized Credential Seal is a state-defined graduation seal that recognizes Ohio high school students who earn qualifying industry credentials, certifications, or licenses. To earn it, students accumulate 12 points within a single career field, either through one high-value credential or by bundling smaller credentials assigned point values based on employer demand. It is one of the state-defined seals students can use to demonstrate readiness for graduation.
