Texas HB1233 encourages students to earn industry-recognized credentials at public higher education institutions.

HB1233 amends the Education Code to promote the earning of credentials of value at public institutions of higher education. It defines "credential of value" as an industry-recognized work-based learning credential in a high-demand, high-growth industry. The coordinating board is tasked with encouraging the completion of these credentials in degree programs, facilitating transferability of course credit, and developing degree and certificate programs that allow students to earn degrees or certificates across different institutions.
