An Education-to-Employment Ecosystem Means Success for Us All
When institutions and employers collaborate, learning outcomes and skills are aligned so a learner’s credentials can be verified and matched instantly to the right job. Today's digital credentials are how educators award achievement, learners stack their experiences, and employers find the perfect match as well as upskill their teams.
Everyone can organize, track, and verify qualifications from the start.
Make the Most of Your Experiences
Given the challenges educators and employers have worldwide finding the right fit between opportunities and quality candidates, the old approaches to credentialing are no longer good enough.
A connected ecosystem means more opportunities for prior learning, dual enrollment, internships, technical skills development, and educational experiences that are highly valued by multiple industries. Digital credentials allow learners to make the most of their experiences while reducing administrative costs and headaches for organizations.

Join Us
Now more than ever, educators and employers need to work in partnership to prepare learners with the skills they need for the jobs of the future. At UMBC, we are working with the Greater Washington Partnership and the University System of Maryland's Kirwan Center to use digital credentials and the Comprehensive Learner Record to show our students have the skills employers are seeking and to give employers greater insight into the skills our students can bring to their organizations.
We are excited to work with other members of the 1EdTech member community to develop the standards that allow digital credentials to be put into practice now and in the future."

The 1EdTech standards opened our eyes to the possibilities of providing students with both our traditional and expanded credentials in a manner that would give them agency over them and how and to whom they’re disclosed.
In addition, we recognized the power of standards to enable the provider, the student, and the recipient to use digital tools to send, receive, consume, interpret, and perhaps most importantly, to trust the credentials and the value propositions they represent.
