It also provides accessibility to dual enrollment (DE) programs with local continuity to each institution. Additionally, students and future workers can use ISD Career Technical Education (CTE) to receive industry-recognized credentials (IRC). Marshall EDC is actively participating, supporting, and connecting industry with both the DE and CTE programs.
