ACSCI Standards
With the rapid expansion of the availability of career
information and services, the need for well-documented, detailed industry
standards of quality and practice is greater than ever before.
ACSCI standards provide a framework for organizations and
individuals to reference in order to promote the delivery of the highest
quality of career information and services.
The ACSCI standards process is a rigorous self-assessment of
career information and services by the entities that produce or deliver
these products. ACSCI signifies compliance with its standards by providing
the ACSCI logo with the statement "Standards-Compliant." The logo
is hyperlinked to compliance statements that describe the level of
standards met. Click
here for a listing of standards-compliant products and the level of
standards met by each.
Copies of the Standards Implementation Handbook, which
includes the latest version of ACSCI Standards, implementation checklists,
and other implementation information, are available from the ACSCI
Administrative Office for $5.00 each. To order, contact Carri
Hoffman at (405) 533-1033 or send e-mail to
support@acsci.org.
