State Approaches to Short-Term Postsecondary Credentials: Challenges, Opportunities, and Policy Gaps
WICHE recently released the report: State Approaches to Short-Term Postsecondary Credentials: Challenges, Opportunities, and Policy Gaps which explores how state policymakers engage with short-term postsecondary credentials, highlighting policy levers such as state authorization, consumer protections, financial aid, and quality standards. The webinar will share key findings from the report regarding the fragmented landscape of oversight and funding, state-level examples of innovative approaches, and gaps where further policy and practice development could enhance workforce alignment and student outcomes. Join our panelists for a discussion on how different actors – from workforce and economic development policymakers to institutional leaders – can think about leveraging their respective roles to ensure the burgeoning field of short-term postsecondary credentials is meeting the needs of students and states.
