Why do we need stackable credentials? Some facts to consider:
In 2010 ◦ U.S. unemployment = 10%
In a survey conducted the same year: ◦ 53% of large business and 67% of small businesses claimed to have trouble recruiting non-
managerial employees with the skills, training and education their companies require.
With so large a pool of unemployed people, why would finding good workers be such a challenge?

Strategies for Creating Stackable Credentials
Strategy 1-Modularize Existing Applied Associate Degree and Technical Diploma Programs
◦ Create modules and shorter term certificate programs out of existing associate degrees.
◦ Create short-term “embedded” credit-bearing credentials.
◦ Allow for the awarding of partial or fractional credit.
Examples: Oregon’s Community College System, Wisconsin’s Technical College System.

*Example: credit recommendations made by the American Council on Education (ACE)

Strategies for Creating Stackable Credentials
Strategy 4-Create “Lattice Credentials” That Allow Students to Move Both Up a Career Ladder Within an Occupational Field or Across Multiple Pathways.
◦ Certificates that can be used to launch careers in multiple pathways in related career fields.
* Example: Basic Health Care certificate program created by Rogue Community College in Oregon
