Credential Engine is a non-profit on a mission to map the credentials, qualifications, and skills landscape with clear information, fueling the creation of resources that empower people to discover and pursue the learning and career pathways that are best for them.
With over a million ways for people to keep pace with a fast-moving economy,
we can create a future where:
Learners
can have equitable access to navigate the full range of learning and career opportunities.
Employers
can discover and confidently hire people with the necessary skills for the job.
Credential Providers
can clearly describe the credentials, their value, and how they meet the needs of learners and employers.
Policymakers
can better understand credentials and support their communities to meet economic needs.
It is vital that we work together to achieve these goals.
Credential Engine is committed to empowering everyone to contribute to open, transparent credentialing ecosystems. In support of our mission, Credential Engine offers a wide range of freely available resources as well as fee-based services that meet the needs of organizations managing credential and competency data.
Learners, employers, credential providers, and policy-makers lack clarity on what’s inside credentials. From costs to pathways to jobs, there’s an urgent need for consistent and transparent information.
We believe it’s time to shine a light on these issues and work together to transform the credential landscape.
Credential Engine is proud to work alongside partners in government, technology, business, and education to help deliver value and thought leadership to the credential landscape. Our current progress would not be possible without them.
