Center on Education & the Workforce

Recovery 2020 and College Payoff outlines that there is an ongoing stream of work that ties degrees, certificates, industry-based certifications, non-credit education, and licenses to labor market value. The work also drills down below the level of degree attainment and/or program to core competencies required for success along education and career pathways. Core occupational competencies include occupational knowledge, skills, abilities, work values, work interests, and personality traits.  Funded by the Gates, Lumina and Joyce Foundations and managed by the Georgetown Center for Education and the Workforce.
