Brief Outlines Progress Toward Credential Transparency and Career Pathways

The Midwest Credential Transparency Alliance Pathways Action Team comprised of higher education and workforce professionals is making progress in identifying existing career pathways in the Midwest. The team is also investigating how these pathways could be improved through credential transparency. The emerging challenge is to ensure that these pathways are consistently articulated, well connected, and supported by policies, practices, communications, and role responsibilities. To help guide these developments, the action team articulated a pathway model for the Midwest region in this newly published brief.
