In the past month, ExcelinEd and Burning Glass Technologies have released three elements of Credentials Matter, a first-of-its-kind analysis that examines whether the credentials students earn align with real-world employer demand.

“Not a single state has industry credentials that are -highly aligned’ with the job market and more than 20 states don’t collect data to know how they align with what employers want or need.” – new #credentials report from @Burning_Glass and @ExcelinEd https://t.co/PGw8bBjKyE
