In 2021, Connecticut passed legislation to create a statewide database of credentials, led by the Office of Higher Education and Office of Workforce Strategy in partnership with the New England Board of Higher Education and Credential Engine. The initiative is designed to make credential information transparent and accessible for students, job seekers, employers, and policymakers, supporting informed education and workforce decisions. As an early milestone, the state published community college credential data using the Credential Transparency Description Language (CTDL), a national standard that enables meaningful comparisons and integrates labor market insights to highlight the content, quality, and value of credentials.
Connecticut has published over 3,000 credentials to the Registry!
