It’s happening! The Credential Registry – an open resource designed to make credential information widely available to everyone – now hosts over 200,000 competency statements. Thanks to the dedication of government agencies, industry groups, certification bodies, and many competency-based institutions, this milestone reflects a growing commitment to transparency. And this is only the beginning.Â
Use CBExchange as a Catalyst for Action
This event is an ideal opportunity for institutional competency leaders to drive the publishing of competencies in the Credential Registry – before, during, or after the event.Â
No matter where your institution stands in developing its competency programming, you can take meaningful steps toward greater transparency. Here are some starting points to consider:
- Do you have defined competencies?
- How are your competencies currently stored?Â
- Do you need approval or ‘buy-in’ from anyone else?Â
- Are they published on your website or sitting in spreadsheets?
If these questions resonate, your organization is an ideal candidate to begin publishing competencies in the Credential Registry.
Momentum Is Building
Across the country, state policymakers are advancing legislation that strengthens transparency, alignment, and quality in credential and competency data. These efforts underscore the importance of open, connected data systems — and publishing to the Credential Registry is a powerful way to align with this movement.
