Credential Engine is enhancing data transparency for education and employment outcomes metrics to ensure that everyone—from educators and employers to policymakers and learners—has access to clear, actionable data for making informed decisions about learning and career pathways. Credential Engine is hosting a webinar on July 10th where we are requesting your expertise and feedback to confirm the proposed education and employment outcome metrics additions to the Credential Transparency Description Language (CTDL). It is not required to attend the webinar to provide input.

The CTDL Education and Employment Outcomes Metrics Task Group, which included experts from a variety of organizations, collaborated with Credential Engine to introduce new terms, definitions, and usage guidance around education and employment outcomes. This proposal aims to improve the clarity and transparency of metrics that play a pivotal role in learning and work ecosystems.

This proposal complements the existing capabilities CTDL has to describe a wide range of education and employment outcomes metrics, credentials, learning opportunities, competencies, assessments, jobs, pathways, and more. It refines the granularity of valuable data for greater clarity and transparency.

You can provide feedback by reviewing the CTDL Education and Employment Outcomes Terms Proposal and adding your comments or by reviewing the proposal and emailing info@credentialengine.org. You can also learn more and engage with the Credential Engine team in our webinar on this topic.
