Better understanding of what learning described by credentials prepares earners to do in theworkforce, at the skill level. This may be a reframing of competencies toward position descriptionlanguage
Employers want to know what credentials are credentialing, and they want to hear it in their own language. The temptation will be to convince faculty and others to revise descriptions, however the opportunity is in leaving that and instead seeking their consensus and comfort with interpreting their descriptions into the languages of employers.

Increasingly, our partners are interested in building collections - or connecting to - credentials that they don’t own, issue, or offer to show learners the full pathways of learning opportunities that they can pursue.
Example of how this gets operationalized: There will be platforms (think Naviance on big data and personalized data steroids) that will help Learners discover right fit opportunities based in part on the credentials they already have. There will be savvy institutions connecting to others' credentials so as to increase the likelihood that Learners discover those institutions' program offerings. This will be akin to a sort of skill-based SEO approach as a recruitment/admissions strategy.
