The addition of the new partner organizations adds to a growing coalition of advocacy groups, nonprofits, and strategy organizations partnering with Credential Engine to boost the transparency for displaced workers navigating a maze of more than 730,000 unique credentials with varying costs and labor market value.
“In an economy where skills and credentials are increasingly important to labor market success, it is more important than ever for all stakeholders—students, workers, businesses, and policymakers—to understand which credentials matter and why,” said Kermit Kaleba, federal policy director at National Skills Coalition. “Through our partnership with Credential Engine, we look forward to supporting federal and state policy changes that will strengthen credential quality and increase economic opportunities for all.”
