This is a state policy toolkit that illustrates how states can use the quality non-degree credential framework (outlined by National Skills Coalition) and the linked open data network, common description language, and publishing platform created by Credential Engine to improve credential quality and transparency.

Simply put: Americans need clear and reliable information about their educational options. But they also need to know how to navigate these options. Good data on credential quality and transparency helps them select a path that leads to equitable economic and career success. This toolkit provides a map for how states that are looking to improve credential quality and transparency can use the quality non-degree credential framework outlined by National Skills Coalition and the linked open data network, common description language, and publishing platform created by Credential Engine.
