Credential Engine

A new report from @CredEngine estimates that there are 1,076,358 unique #credentials in the United States. The credential landscape is vast—perhaps larger than many imagined. We need to use these data as a motivator to work towards #CredentialTransparency. bit.ly/3F8YyF1

1.85M credentials exist in the U.S. — diplomas, degrees, badges, certificates & licenses. Our new Counting Credentials 2025 report gives a full view of this growing landscape. Report: credentialengine.org/all-resources/…

Credential Engine applauds @RepLucyMcBath and her introduction of the CREATES Act, which prioritizes greater #credentialtransparency. #CREATES will empower individuals in those states to make more informed decisions about their education and career pathways.

CE applauds the inclusion of #credentialtransparency in the House E&W Committee's draft of #WIOA reauthorization.  Better access to open and interoperable data will benefit students, jobseekers, and employers, and will enable richer pathways, skills first approaches, and LERs.
