Stakeholder Groups / Searches

The learn-and-work ecosystem is made up of many building blocks. The Learn & Work Ecosystem Library is built around 12 building blocks:

Alliances, Networks, & Intermediaries
Career Navigation
Communications
Credentials & Providers
Data, Databases & Standards
Employers & Workforce

International Developments
Policy
Quality & Value
Research
Transparency
Verifications & Recordkeeping

The community of stakeholders in the ecosystem, therefore, are very diverse because they work in 12 areas of the ecosystem. Stakeholders include:

Accreditors / quality assurance entities
Career advisers and coaches
Community colleges
Diversity, equity, and inclusion experts
Employers
Finance experts
Intermediaries
Journalists
Learners, Students
Military

Prisons
Student Services
Philanthropy
Policymakers
Researchers
Schools (K-12)
Third-party credential providers
Universities
Workforce agencies

Because stakeholders will come to the Library searching for many types of information, the Library offers a way to search by “stakeholder type” to ease their identification and collection of information. Stakeholders have the option of identifying by “stakeholder type” to sort information that may be especially relevant to their group.

Search By Stakeholders Group

Note: Searching by Stakeholder Groups is still in development

The Library enables you to search by stakeholder group in order to sort information that may be especially relevant to the interests of particular groups. Check below which stakeholder group(s) you are a part of, and the Library will suggest content that may be of most interest.
