Credentials Matter, a first-of-its-kind analysis by ExcelinEd and Burning Glass Technologies, examines whether the credentials students earn align with real-world employer demand. Explore the most extensive data collection available on industry-recognized credentials earned in states at CredentialsMatter.org.
Out of the twenty-four states in @ExcelinEd and @Burning_Glass's study, 12 were rated as having moderate alignment, while the other half had low alignment. https://t.co/sQnkvgD5xI
