When higher education and industry align on skills, everyone wins. Learners achieve and demonstrate industry-needed skills, educators promote the value of their “brand” and back it with marketable outcomes (graduations, hires), and employers hire better-qualified employees and retain them longer. Why and how should US Higher Education get involved in new innovative credentials to support this vision? This session will explore the history and rationale for such involvement!
