Credential As You Go is a national initiative working across multiple states, institutions, and organizations to build a fairer credentialing system that formally recognizes learning along the way through many different types of incremental credentials. Colorado, a participating state, passed legislation in 2022 calling for the creation of stackable credential pathways in growing industries including Behavioral Health, Cybersecurity, Healthcare, Education and IT. During this presentation speakers will share perspectives on key issues, concepts, and opportunities in implementing incremental credentials. They will then describe how Colorado is applying those concepts, working with community colleges, four-year institutions, and employers to build at least ten stackable credential pathway by January of 2025

Learning Objectives:

  • Upon completion, participants will be able to define incremental credentials and understand their value in creating a fairer credentialing system.
  • Upon completion, participants will be able to access playbooks, case studies, and other tools and resources available to help them consider creating and implementing incremental credentials in their states and/or institutions.
  • Upon completion, participants will have an appreciation of equity issues with and implications of the current credentialing system in the United States.
