///Earning a CDA in High School///
Guided by the belief that all students should be college- or career-ready, in 2011 the Council provided an opportunity for high school students enrolled in Career & Technical Education (CTE) Programs to earn the Child Development Associate® (CDA) credential™.
Earning a CDA® credential in high school jumpstarts successful careers and channels faculty expertise. The CDA is the only portable, national and multi-language credential of its kind. A CDA opens career opportunities for thousands of graduates every year.
