- This webinar explores recent research on scaling digital credentials and Learning and Employment Records (LERs).
Digital credentials and Learning and Employment Records (LERs) have long been viewed as key tools for advancing skills-based hiring and strengthening connections between education and employment. Yet despite growing adoption, significant barriers continue to limit their impact.
Join 1EdTech for a discussion of two new research reports: Bridging the Gap: Aligning Education and Workforce Adoption of Digital Credentials and Building Seamless LER Systems: A Path to Scalable Credential Data Sharing. Drawing on employer engagement, industry collaboration, and ecosystem-wide research, these reports examine why employers struggle to use credential data in hiring, where interoperability challenges remain, and what organizations can do to close the gap.
Participants will learn:
- What employers say they need from digital credentials and skills data
- Why credential data is often difficult to interpret, trust, and use in hiring workflows
- Key interoperability challenges limiting the flow of credential data across systems
- Practical recommendations for improving credential design, data quality, and system integration
- Actions institutions, employers, and technology providers can take today to support scalable skills-based hiring
Whether you are issuing credentials, building technology solutions, or working to connect learning and employment outcomes, this webinar will provide actionable insights into the future of the digital credentials ecosystem.
