Breaking New Ground: Building a National Workforce Skills Credentialing System
ACT, Inc.
In 2010 ACT sponsored a strategic workforce development summit with several prominent community college presidents from across the country. The presidents provided diverse perspectives about how to effectively prepare and validate a prepared workforce. This paper represents, in part, key elements of that discussion as well as what they think is a critical part of the solution: the establishment of a national workforce credentialing system. (Contains 3 figures and 15 notes.)
