What if durable skills were transparent, structured, and accessible across the entire credential ecosystem?
A new blog post from America Succeeds explores how building a trusted skills infrastructure can make that vision a reality. In “Building Trusted Skills Infrastructure: Pathsmith™ and Credential Engine,” the organization highlights that its Pathsmith™ Durable Skills Framework is now available in the Credential Registry, advancing a credential ecosystem where skills signals are clearer, pathways are more navigable, and opportunity is easier to access.
As the number of credentials, badges, and competency frameworks continues to grow, clear and comparable skills data is essential. The blog outlines how publishing the Pathsmith™ framework in structured, machine-readable formats strengthens alignment across systems, making durable skills easier to reference in program design, hiring practices, and career navigation.
This collaboration reflects a broader movement toward transparency and interoperability in skills data, ensuring that durable skills are not only defined but consistently understood and applied.
