On June 12th, we released our Equity Advisory Council’s Report and Recommendations on improving equity in and through the expanded use of linked, open, and interoperable data about credentials, competencies, programs, quality, outcomes, and related aspects.

The Council’s report and recommendations focus on two areas:

• What are the data points that students and workers need to know–and that providers should make public–in order to make their most informed decisions about whether a program and credential can lead to an equitable outcome for them, and

• What are the data use principles that counseling, guidance, navigation, and pathway tools and services should incorporate in order to ensure that such data are most effectively usable and used by students and workers to achieve their most equitable outcome.

We have scheduled an open, public webinar for July 20th, 2023 at 1 PM ET to share information about the report, its recommendations, and how to publish and use the identified data.  To register, please click here.
