Higher Education
The Higher Education Advisory Group brings together Presidents, Provosts, Registrars, Chief Academic Officers, and leaders from both postsecondary institutions and higher education associations.
Through their work, they ensure that Credential Engine’s work meets the current and future needs of higher education and to strategize innovative ways for the postsecondary community to maximize the utility of a transparent credential marketplace.
Why We Believe In Credential Transparency
Creating a transparent credential marketplace using the technologies available through Credential Engine enables the postsecondary community to have:
- Clear understandings of credentials, their connections to each other, and to the credential marketplace at-large.
- Increased visibility of credentials to potential students and employers.
- Efficient differentiation capabilities between your credentials and credentials that look like yours.
- Improved accessibility and accuracy of data shared with state agencies.
- Deeper understanding by employers into how credentials meet talent needs.
- Insights into best practices and trends, empowering institutions to be leaders in credential innovation.
