Portable, Stackable Credentials: A New Education Model for Industry-specific Career Pathways
James T. Austin, Gail O. Mellow, Mitch Rosin, Marlene B. Seltzer, November 2012
At the core of a 21st century, responsive education system are portable and stackable credentials that enable students of all ages to build careers with family-sustaining, middle class incomes.
