Through an increasing array of credentials – degrees, licenses, badges and apprenticeships – job seekers, students, and workers have more options than ever to help them get ahead, but a vast and complex credential marketplace to navigate. Many professional, continuing, and online (PCO) leaders struggle to differentiate the credentials offered by their institution to those offered by other institutions and alternative education providers. Join us at one or both of these webinars to learn about how Credential Engine uses technology to bring transparency and credential literacy to the marketplace to provide the reliable information needed to make better credentialing decisions and reveal credentialing and labor trends.

You will learn:

• The value of transparent credential data to your professional, continuing, and online unit and its stakeholders

• How you can make your credentials more transparent

• How Credential Engine can improve your campus’ ability to demonstrate value and ROI to students and employers

• How the Credential Registry and Finder help you stay abreast of credential trends

• What Credential Engine can do to help ensure your programs and graduates are prepared for the future of work.

Part II: January 29, 2019

2:00 p.m. - 3:00 p.m. (ET)

Take the next step to create a more transparent, better-connected, credential system. Join Credential Engine and UPCEA at the second webinar where technical experts will provide an overview and demonstration how institutions can upload credentials into Credential Engine and have those credentials listed in https://credentialfinder.org/. Credential Finder provides learners, stakeholders, and PCO leaders an opportunity to research the trends in the credentialing landscape. Credential Engine’s new bulk upload method streamlines the uploading and management of credential offerings.

Credential Engine, along with Cali Morrison, Ed.D., Associate Dean of Alternative Learning from UPCEA member institution American Public University System (APUS), will share some of the benefits they have realized and the impact of listing their credentials. APUS will walk participants through the process that allows campuses to easily organize credential information in a user-friendly spreadsheet and import the data quickly.
