Read our Strategic Plan to learn more about what we do.\n\nWhy We Do It: Through an increasing array of credentials - such as degrees, licenses, badges and apprenticeships - job seekers, students, and workers have more options than ever to help them get ahead.  Yet, there has never been an efficient way to collect, search, and compare credentials in a way that can be both universally understood and maintained in a manner that keeps up with the speed of change in the 21st century. With nearly 1,000,000 confirmed credentials in the U.S. alone, and likely millions worldwide, this lack of information in the marketplace contributes to confusion and uninformed decision making."},"ceterms:socialMedia":["https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCyTpUktFYQNlLrLR4O_AcQA","https://www.linkedin.com/company/credential-engine","https://www.facebook.com/credengine","https://twitter.com/credengine"],"ceterms:agentPurpose":"https://credentialengine.org/credential-transparency","ceterms:foundingDate":"2016-01","ceterms:subjectWebpage":"http://www.credentialengine.org","ceterms:agentSectorType":[{"@type":"ceterms:CredentialAlignmentObject","ceterms:framework":"https://credreg.org/ctdl/terms/AgentSector","ceterms:targetNode":"agentSector:PrivateNonProfit","ceterms:frameworkName":{"en-US":"Agent Sector"},"ceterms:targetNodeName":{"en-US":"Private Not-For-Profit"},"ceterms:targetNodeDescription":{"en-US":"Sector that contains privately-owned organizations that operate on a non-profit basis."}}],"ceterms:lifeCycleStatusType":{"@type":"ceterms:CredentialAlignmentObject","ceterms:framework":"https://credreg.org/ctdl/terms/LifeCycleStatus","ceterms:targetNode":"lifeCycle:Active","ceterms:frameworkName":{"en-US":"Life Cycle Status"},"ceterms:targetNodeName":{"en-US":"Active"},"ceterms:targetNodeDescription":{"en-US":"Resource is active, current, ongoing, offered, operational, or available."}},"ceterms:agentPurposeDescription":{"en-US":"Why do we expect people to be able to navigate the credential landscape without rich information guiding them? Without proper tools that can help them make their journey as rewarding as possible? Especially when it is hard for people to find their way through new or ever-changing landscapes without proper navigation equipment-information that shows the end goal, where danger lies along the way, and where they can get help if needed. Even experienced hikers get lost in dense terrain without a map and a compass. \n\nFor the credential landscape, greater transparency is that map and compass. Credential transparency means that essential information about credentials-including their associated skills and competencies-are public, easily accessible, and actionable. This way credentials can be better understood and pursued based on what it takes to earn them, what they represent, and the jobs they can lead to. It's time we give people the information and tools they need to get credentials when they need them."},"ceterms:missionAndGoalsStatement":"https://credentialengine.org/about","ceterms:missionAndGoalsStatementDescription":{"en-US":"Credential Engine is a non-profit whose mission is to map the credential landscape with clear and consistent information, fueling the creation of resources that empower people to find the pathways that are best for them.
