The Framework is intended to connect the dots among diverse credentials by using common language to describe what recipients of each credential should know and be able to do.
The Framework was developed on behalf of Lumina Foundation by experts from the Corporation for a Skilled Workforce (CSW) and the Center for Law and Social Policy (CLASP).
