About

Forsyth County, NC

Forsyth Technical Community College has been leading efforts in their region to align the education-workforce systems and accelerate learning pathways. Through a partnership with Credential Engine, Forsyth Tech has published transparent, linked open data about badges, diplomas, certificates, and associate degrees to the Credential Registry. This includes courses, competencies, and pathways in the Machining, Mechatronics, and Welding fields. 

Project goals include implementing the Business and Industry Leadership Team (BILT) model on a regional level and utilizing the BILT-defined competencies to create digital badges and standardized content across the consortium. Additionally, it seeks to broaden opportunities for credit for prior learning. These initiatives aim to align the education and workforce systems to foster the development of a workforce-ready talent pipeline.

Data published to the Registry:

  • Credentials, Courses, Competencies, and Pathways in Machining, Mechatronics, and Welding 
  • Badges, Microcredential, and a Pathway in Human Resources
  • Competencies in Industrial Systems Technology for Forsyth Tech, Alamance Community College, and Davidson-Davie Community College.
