Unlocking Verified Skills: Credential Frameworks and Badging to Support Skills-based Hiring

November 13 | 9:50-10:35 AM MT

This session explores how Learning and Employment Records (LERs) and credential frameworks empower a more transparent recruitment process. We'll delve into the WGU Unified Credential Framework, a prominent example, to understand how higher education institutions can realize value and quality while defining clear pathways for competency acquisition. Crucial governance policy discussions will be addressed, focusing on aligning curriculum outcomes with framework competencies and implementing robust assessment methods. We'll also examine Open Badges, a digital representation of earned credentials, allowing for greater transparency and empowering individuals to share verified skills and achievements with potential employers. Join us and gain insights into LERs, credential frameworks, and Open Badges, and leave with the knowledge to understand and implement a skills-based future.
