The Power of Stackable Credentials


Stackable credentials can broaden access to both postsecondary education and professional training, but what exactly are they, and why are they important? Host Jason Altmire talks to Lindsay Daugherty, a senior policy researcher at the RAND Corporation, about the value of stackable credentials. 

They discuss which fields offer the greatest opportunities for increased earnings through stackable credentials. Lindsay discusses steps states like Ohio and Colorado are taking to support colleges in developing these credential pipelines. Colleges play a crucial role in facilitating stackable credentials, and Lindsay explains key actions they can undertake to support the process.
