A market value asset (MVA) is a cornerstone experience that prepares a student for future learning and employment. MVAs are authentic previews of the world of work or post secondary education. While the professional and academic worlds are ever changing, the outgrowths* students develop when they work on authentic projects with real employers and mentors are durable enough to benefit them throughout their lives.  Examples of MVA’s are:

1. Work Experiences-  Internships, Client Connected Projects

2. Entrepreneurial Experiences

3. Regionally Vetted Industry Recognized Credentials (IRCs)

4. College Credit- 9 or more hours in coursework progressing towards a college degree.
