Indiana wants high school students to have college credit and career training. IPS says it’s ready.

As Indiana prepares to require high schools to offer both college-level courses and work experiences, some educators share a concern: Is it feasible for high schools and for students? Beginning this year, all high schools must offer or have a plan to offer the College Core — a stack of 30 credits that can be transferred to all the public and some private colleges and universities in the state. Additionally, the state is considering a requirement that students complete some work experience in order to earn a new advanced diploma by 2029.
