What are Stackable Credentials?

Stackable credentials are part of a sequence of education accumulated over time to build up an individual's qualification to help them move along a career pathway or up a career ladder to potentially different and/or higher paying jobs.

Stackable Credentials

Our students work to accumulate credentials by completing various levels of coursework required by a variety of credentialing agencies and associations. These courses help individual students move along a chosen career pathway. Each pathway consists of a clear sequence of coursework and/or other credentials that support skill attainment and employment. Certificates, badges and certification are examples of stackable credentials that help document your journey.
