Learning and Employment Records are going to play a critical role in helping connect students, employers, and educators via skills.
Recent transitions to online-first work and distance learning have resulted in a new openness to digital learning records, badges, and other forms of credentialing that transcend the traditional transcript. The need for these digital records, as well as records that support growing skill-based hiring and learning preferences, has given rise to Learning and Employment Records, or LERs. If LERs are adopted universally, they will: - Help learners document and share their skills and competencies, whether they're acquired by traditional, non-traditional, or employer-based training.
- Help employers get more precise insight into the relevant skills and abilities of job applicants and current employees.
- Help educators better serve their learners and employer partners by providing more transparent learning records that surface the work-relevant skills learned in each course or program.
