Expanding Competency-Based Education for All Learners
Jobs for the Future
In partnership with the ECMC Foundation, Jobs for the Future is leading an effort to explore how postsecondary competency-based education models can be adapted to better serve underprepared adult learners. JFF kicked off this initiative with a convening of educators, policymakers, and researchers, the results of which are captured in this paper. We invite you to join this critical effort to harness the potential of CBE to propel more people to complete a highvalue college credential, leading to job placement and career success, in less time, for less money.
