Credentials
Skills a student can prove to the next opportunity.
Industry training, program achievement and completed career experience come together as one clear answer to what a student is prepared to do, in terms colleges and employers already understand.
Recognition that travels
The range of achievement a student can present
Industry training, program achievement and career experience presented so a reader grasps its value quickly.
Certifications and training that employers in a field already know and value.
Completion of a career experience, named so a reader understands the occupation and the standard involved.
Program training, coursework and recognition earned through the student's own school or center.
Achievements the adults who work with a student are prepared to speak to.
Preparation in several industries, so a student is not limited to a single pathway.
Time-limited certifications stay accurate, so a student never presents lapsed training as current.
Where it counts
What credentials open up for a student
- Colleges and employers understand immediately what a student has prepared for.
- Training from every source a student has pursued is presented as one coherent picture.
- Recognition a young person can carry into their next program, campus or job.
- A concrete answer to what a student is ready to do now.
For each audience
What recognized skills mean to the people evaluating a student
Employers and partners
A clear signal of which candidates have already prepared for the demands of your roles. Career experience recognition reflects completed educational work, not a license.
Schools and programs
Evidence that career and technical investment is translating into student preparation your community and funders can see.
Students and families
Recognition a young person keeps, and a clearer sense of which next steps are genuinely open to them. See the data rights page for privacy choices.
