High Value Credentials for New England
New England faces a fast-changing economy, economic inequalities, and unparalleled demographic challenges.

Just as states are forced to address shifting labor market demands, they are under increased obligation to identify, fund, and deliver high quality credentials.

More than ever, credential transparency and an ability to make informed decisions about the value of credentials through comparative analysis is essential. Credential Engine can support states in designing and implementing practices and policies that improve information about—and access to—transparent and open credential and competency information.
