Refers to a structured record that documents an individual’s demonstrated skills—rather than only courses completed or degrees earned—often drawing from multiple learning experiences such as coursework, microcredentials, work-based learning, certifications, and co-curricular activities. Skills transcripts are designed to make skills visible, portable, and understandable to employers, educators, and learners. Skills transcripts may be issued by educational institutions, workforce intermediaries, or digital credential platforms and are increasingly aligned with competency frameworks and labor-market skill taxonomies. They are commonly associated with digital credentials, Learning and Employment Records (LERs), and skills-first hiring practices, serving as a bridge between education and employment by translating learning into workforce-relevant skill signals.
