Life Long Learning Wrote:Credentialing Transparency Initiative (CTI)

The past decade has seen an explosion in the number and variety of professional credentials which has intensified the confusion among employers, workers, and job seekers trying to understand how various credentials--certifications, certificates, licenses, and badges--compare. To bring transparency and clarity to the US credentialing marketplace, George Washington University’s Institute of Public Policy (GWIPP), Workcred, and Southern Illinois University (SIU) are leading a Credentialing Transparency Initiative (CTI). Funded by a $2.25 million dollar grant from Lumina Foundation, the initiative will develop common terms to describe key features of credentials; create a national web-based registry to share comparable credentialing information; and test practical software apps designed to serve the needs of employers, students, and educators. The Institute of Certified Professional Managers is participating as a pilot-site partner in the Credentialing Transparency Initiative. Pilot partners will be featured in an illustrative credentialing directory and provide feedback to enhance the value and accessibility of comparable credentialing information. A public release date for the resulting National Credentialing Registry is to be determined.
