Starting with the 2015-16 school year, Georgia will offer an international-skills diploma seal to graduates who demonstrate a strong interest in international business and policy. Georgia will be one of three states, along with Wisconsin and North Carolina, to offer a global-competence/global-readiness seal or certificate to graduating high school students.
