SUMMARY:Credential Mobility and Transparency: Pathways to Licensure and Employment
DESCRIPTION:The Council of State Governments (CSG) invites you to a webinar to discuss professional licensure\, obstacles to mobility and transparency and solutions for efficient and inclusive credentialing practices. CSG’s Occupational Licensure Project\, funded by the US Department of Labor\, has sought to remove barriers for professional licensure.   \n  \nObtaining a professional license can be confusing. Differences among professional licensing laws across states create barriers for those looking to obtain a license as well as for professionals relocating across state lines. Differences in education\, training and license requirements can be difficult to navigate. During this webinar\, representatives from Credential Engine and the National Skills Coalition will discuss credential transparency and strategies to make the process of obtaining a professional license clear\, efficient and inclusive. \n  \nSpeakers: \nJeannine LaPrad\, National Skills Coalition \nJeff Gran\, Credential Engine

SUMMARY:New Federal Investments in Digital Equity: What Skills Advocates Need to Know
DESCRIPTION:Over the past 18 months\, National Skills Coalition members have worked hard to educate policymakers on the need to invest in digital skills. Our Digital Equity @ Work campaign has highlighted the importance of holistic digital inclusion investments that help workers not only access the broadband and devices they need\, but also to pursue high-quality upskilling and reskilling opportunities. \nNow it’s time to celebrate an important victory: The infrastructure bill passed by Congress in November 2021 includes historic\, first-of-its-kind funding for digital inclusion\, and it’s in part thanks to the advocacy of our network! States will be receiving $2.75 billion in funding under the Digital Equity Act. In this quick 30-minute webinar\, you’ll learn about the implications of this new legislation for your state\, find out what more needs to be done to achieve digital equity for all workers\, and get your top questions answered. You’ll also get a sneak peek at the next chapter of the federal digital equity conversation — coming at the February 2022 Skills Summit. \nDownload slides.

SUMMARY:Training and Hiring Strategies that Lead to Good Jobs for Immigrant Communities and English Language Learners
DESCRIPTION:California is home to nearly 11 million immigrants – accounting for almost 27 percent of the state’s population. Roughly 2.5 million immigrants are undocumented\, meaning less access to social safety net programs\, financial assistance\, and job security.  Throughout the ongoing pandemic\, immigrants\, including English language learners (ELL)\, have been impacted the most – facing systemic barriers that have greatly limited their access to supportive services and opportunities to gain critical skills training. Although there have been some improvements and investments made in the state’s budget\, there is still much work to be done to support immigrants and English language learners. \nJoin Skills for CA to hear from experts in the field who will share more about the unique barriers these communities face and strategies that can increase access to economic mobility in today’s labor market. \nSpeakers:\n\nJoseph Villela\, Coalition for Humane Immigrant Rights\nSasha Feldstein\, California Immigrant Policy Center\nMarc Philpart\, PolicyLink/ Alliance for Boys and Men of Color\nZima Creason\, CA EDGE Coalition\nAnna Alvarado\, CA EDGE Coalition

SUMMARY:Using Data to Drive Credential Quality and Transparency - C2ER Conference/LMI Institute Annual Forum
DESCRIPTION:View the slides from NSC Senior Fellow Rachel Vilsack’s presentation at the 2021 C2ER Conference/LMI Institute Annual Forum\nUsing Data to Drive Credential Quality and Transparency – June 9th\, 1pm ET\nEducation and training have become essential to our nation’s economic mobility and growth following an historic pandemic that disrupted the lives and livelihoods of students and working learners. More than 80 percent of all jobs in today’s economy require some form of education or training beyond high school\, and virtually all new jobs created since 2008 have gone to workers with at least some postsecondary education. Economic downturns are traditionally the time that prospective students look to pursue training\, and recent survey results show that it is likely to be in a non-degree program to acquire the skills they need for work\, or to obtain a certificate or license. This session will explain how two states are using labor market data to define quality credentials and making data on credentials transparent to learners through Credential Engine and to provide more pathways into quality postsecondary education and training as a part of their recovery strategies.
