In this webinar, hosted by Education Strategy Group and National Skills Coalition, we’ll be joined by three leading thinkers to discuss why some credentials stack and others don’t and how to better ensure that more workers and students have access to career pathways that lead to family-supporting jobs.

But evidence on “stackable” credentials is mixed, and there are clearly more steps that practitioners and policymakers can take to strengthen opportunities for workers, particularly those who have been most heavily impacted by the current crisis and those who were already facing systemic barriers to economic opportunities
