Many initiatives are working to improve the learn-and work ecosystem. Initiatives often focus in one or two areas, as well as in many areas.
Key Components
The learn-and-work ecosystem is composed of 12 key components that must be connected and coordinated so that INDIVIDUALS can move seamlessly through the marketplace using a variety of credentials to communicate the skills and knowledge acquired in multiple settings (school, work, service, self-study); SCHOOLS can count learning obtained outside of academic settings toward a degree or other credential; EMPLOYERS have more detailed and externally-validated information for hiring, reskilling, and upskilling workers; and the PUBLIC is informed about the learn-and-work ecosystem.
Stakeholder Groups
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.
For the ecosystem to function effectively, all parts of the system must be connected and coordinated.
