Editor's Notes
- Source : U.S. Department of Education, National Center for Education Statistics, Integrated Postsecondary Education Data System Glossary http://nces.ed.gov/ipeds/glossary On the Office of Apprenticeship Sponsors website at http://www.doleta.gov/oa/links.cfm visitors can find information on the occupations and sponsors of registered apprenticeship programs in their state
- This online tool contains federal and state-provided information including: Licensing agency name, address, and contact information, including Internet links if available; license description and applicable fees; and examination requirements, if applicable.
- We are going to look at several examples of credentials that have several of these attributes in that they are: Industry-recognized Stackable And often Portable We are also going to look at how industry competency models can provide a framework for sequencing or “stacking” credentials
- The first example is a national sequence of stackable credentials in Advanced Manufacturing, developed by a variety of organizatoins and endorsed by the Manufacturing Institute, which is also and aligned with an Advanced Manufacturing Comptency Model developed in partnership with ETA
- This is an example that shows how education credentials, certification, and work experiences can be used together to build a career pathway in Advanced Manufacturing The left-hand column shows an Education Pathway with a certificate program in the lower-left, going up through an Associate’s degree program, to a bachelor’s degree program The center columns shows a number of personnel Certifications, including ones from the National Institute for Metalworking Skills, and the Society of Manufacturing Engineers The right-hand column shows corresponding jobs However, an individual doesn’t have to strictly follow up through a single column—someone could perhaps start with an educational certificate, get some work experience, and then prepare and test for certain personnel certifications to move up on the career pathway—before going back to school to obtain an educational degree perhaps.
- The Center for Energy Workforce Development (CEWD) is also in the process of developing a sequence of stackable credentials for energy utility industry workers. This sequence of stackable credentials is also being developed in alignment with an industry competency model framework (also available on the ETA-sponsored Competency Model Clearinghouse)
- The CEWD is working with the Center for Adult and Experiential Learning to assist them in developing the career pathway and sequence of stackable credentials.
- The Information Technology field, or IT, has probably the greatest number of personnel certifications. In fact, there are so many, and they are updated quite frequently, based on changes in technology, and releases of new version, that it can be quite daunting for an individual, or a workforce system professional to keep up with and be knowledgeable about them all. A number of organizations provide information on IT credentials and the Computing Technology Industry Association or CompTIA has developed a few online tools to help individuals search for and learn about available IT credentials
- Here is the homepage for the Getting America Back to Work site sponsored by CompTIA that let’s individuals do Assessment Search for training Search for Certifications And help them seek employment placements
- SAY: As I explained earlier, we worked with OVAE at the Department of Education to consult practitioners and talk to experts on career pathways. Based on these consultations, ETA and OVAE have identified 6 key elements – not steps, but elements. These 6 elements need to all be operating at the same time in career pathway systems. The experience of career pathway experts has shown that you’ll need to keep going back and working on these elements. SHOW THE SUB-BULLETS AND SAY: The Departments of Labor and Education have listened to feedback from workforce and education professionals and have looked at countless career pathway systems. They have identified 6 key elements of successful career pathway systems: Cross-agency partnerships Employer engagement Adult-centered program design Identified funding needs and sources Aligned policies and programs Measurement of system change and performance evaluation SAY: The purpose of this framework is to give us a way to take this very broad definition of career pathways and operationalize it. How do we make them happen? What do we actually need to do to make them happen? TRANSITION: Let’s examine each of these elements a little bit more closely. Switch to the next slide. NOTES Note that the graphic will appear first. The first level bullet will automatically appear after a delay of 2 seconds. All the sub-bullets will appear as one object when you hit page down, or hit arrow down, or click your mouse on the screen. This will allow you to show the elements only when you’re ready to speak about them.
- SAY: Also an excellent resource for you is the “Career Pathways Community of Practice” web site, which has information and tools from the field on career pathways. Switch to the next slide. NOTES Note that the graphic will automatically appear.
- SAY: The resources also include some related studies that show the benefits of a career pathway approach. Switch to the next slide. NOTES Note that the text of the whole slide will appear all at once.
