Learners, educators, employers, and policymakers understand that expenditures on education and training are necessary to develop the skills and talent required by today and tomorrow’s workforce. However, until today we did not have a robust understanding of exactly how much is being spent on acquiring these necessary skills and credentials.
We need to ensure that policy creates systems for credentials to be easily accessible, understood, comparable, connected to other critical education and workforce data, and communicated so that they serve everyone. This document is a roadmap and an action guide for state policymakers to help take the inefficiencies out of the labor marketplace and provide more efficient and equitable access to actionable information through the prioritization of credential transparency.
