At this year’s Alabama Interstate Talent Development Convening, NSC’s own Amy Ellen Duke-Benfield will be presenting a breakout session called “The Role of Non-Degree Credential Quality Assurance” alongside Cleve Poole of the Alabama Committee on Credentialing and Career Pathways and Vicky Ohlson of the Alabama Community College System.
The convening is designed to serve as a professional development experience including over a dozen breakout sessions covering key education and workforce development topics that are germane to developing a statewide talent development strategic plan. Alabama hopes to use the convening as a catalyst to curate consensus on priority action items for the reauthorization of the Workforce Innovation and Opportunity Act (WIOA) and the Higher Education Act (HEA).
