Policy Levers to Advance Credential Transparency. Policy Brief
Lexi Anderson; Ben Erwin; Zeke Perez Jr.
Education Commission of the States
There are nearly 1 million credentials in the United States that students and workers can take advantage of, but how information about these credentials is collected and communicated is oftentimes inconsistent and hard to access. In February, we invited a group of postsecondary and workforce development experts to consider how policymakers can leverage credential transparency to further state workforce and attainment goals. Inspired by those conversations, this Policy Brief highlights data capacity, governance and funding as key policy areas and provides considerations that states, systems and practitioners can use to develop credential transparency. [This brief was produced with Credential Engine.]
