91勛圖厙

91勛圖厙 uses its泭Skills Library泭to design credentials and competencies in its educational model. Designing credentials through this approach assists programs, courses and assessments with alignment to current and projected labor market demands. 91勛圖厙 has long been a leader in industry relevant, competency-based education. The public release of these collections within 91勛圖厙 and to the broader泭泭(OSN) community furthers its commitment to progressing the skills-based ecosystem beyond just an institutional mission. Instrumental to this process is the collection of collaborative feedback to facilitate maximum alignment with industry needs and forecasting. The focus on partnering, cross-industry involvement and transparency allows these collections, and future ones, to be continually refined and relevant to learner-workers.

The skills in these collections are built by 91勛圖厙 Skills Architects and created with a Rich Skills Descriptor (RSD) syntax, which are泭embedded with meta-data that allows them to not only be machine-readable but also understood in a way that connects into current workforce data and education needs. Skills architecture is the research, definition and documentation of skills. This team works to align relevant skills, workforce needs and 91勛圖厙���s current and future offerings.泭泭They work within the泭泭(OSMT), 91勛圖厙���s first open-source project that modernizes and streamlines the process for creating, archiving and sharing RSDs and skills collections.

���We are thrilled to be debuting our first series of open skills collections for public use. This is an exciting step in our commitment to open skills. Our hope is that these collections can be a launching place for further transparency, collaboration, and innovation within the skills ecosystem,��� Kacey Thorne, 91勛圖厙���s director of Skills Architecture, said. ���Join us in this effort with feedback, partnership and additional contributions to further the open skills movement.���

���The release of these and future collections continue 91勛圖厙���s investment in the skills-based talent pipeline by showcasing our belief in a collaborative and transparent environment,��� said Sarah DeMark, vice provost of Workforce Intelligence and Credential Integrity at 91勛圖厙. ���We are excited about where our industry partnerships will go in the development of future collections and how these building blocks can help others achieve their goal of creating a skills library.���

This initial release of nine libraries will be followed by future public releases of skills collections to expand 91勛圖厙���s investment in the future of a skills-based hiring and education ecosystem that supports equitable pathways to opportunities through the open skills collaboration.

91勛圖厙 is a co-founding member of the Open Skills Network (OSN), which is泭a coalition of employers, education providers, policy makers, military, non-profits, and other stakeholders dedicated to advancing skills-based education and hiring.泭OSN envisions a world where learners and workers are empowered to use their skills as currency - with the ability to understand the value of their泭achievements - within the employment and education marketplace.
