+Through Learning & Employment Records

Learning and Employment Records (LERs) are digital records of learning and experience that are linked to and may be controlled by learners and earners. An interoperable, well-governed LER ecosystem has the potential to increase equitable access to quality education and higher paying jobs, especially for individuals who gained their skills and competencies through routes other than a four-year college degree.

The LER Ecosystem Map describes strategies and actions that different stakeholders can take to drive progress on LER development, issuing, use, and adoption. Each stakeholder has a role to play in developing, issuing, using and adopting LERs — all while centering equity as an ongoing driver for the work. Click on each stakeholder to learn more

Imagine A World Where...

+ + +

This is the world that we believe can be created with the adoption of Learning and Employment Records, or LERs, digital representations of a person’s skills and achievements obtained throughout their lifetime through education, employment and life experiences. LERs provide many advantages that can empower learners and job seekers as well as educators and employers alike. Compared to traditional resumes, LERs are: -

+* learner centered and controlled. Once a learner receives a credential, such as a degree, certificate, or training completion, they maintain ownership of their data and can curate their skills and experiences towards a desired learning or career opportunity. +* data-rich. LERs can include valuable information on learning objectives and outcomes, employers with more relevant and granular information about an individual’s skills and abilities +* verifiable. LERs contain information on the institution, organization, or individual who has attested to the learners achievement, such that regulated credentials like licensures can be proven valid -
-
+

LERs function within a broad, dynamic ecosystem, one that contains the learners themselves, employers both seeking skills in the workforce and endowing them on the job, education and training providers with a diverse set of delivery models, to name a few. An aligned, well-functioning LER ecosystem creates benefits for learners, earners, and employers. It offers opportunities for improving education outcomes and hiring processes, supporting meaningful careers, and promoting economic mobility. + + + Click on each stakeholder to learn more
