Business
The Business Advisory Group brings together leaders in a wide range of industries and workforce development issues to act as the voice of employers when discussing credentialing issues and trends, ensure that Credential Engine’s efforts meet the present and future needs of the employer community as they tackle the skills gap, and develop new ways for businesses to utilize transparent credential data as part of their work.
Why We Believe In Credential Transparency
Creating a transparent credential marketplace using the technologies available through Credential Engine enables the business community to have:
- Clear understandings of credentials, their components, and their connections to both each other and the workforce
- Critical data needed to make both short- and long-term hiring and workforce development decisions
- Deeper understanding by education and training partners into how credentials can better meet employer needs
- Stronger insights into where to make strategic partnerships with education and training partners
- Increased ability to track long-term credentialing trends that can impact the future workforce
Who We Are
The Business Advisory Group is made up of representatives from employers large and small across the country who are committed to leveraging credential data to improve workforce systems.
