C+D pathways are more than a new academic model—they represent a cultural shift. They give students clearer routes to employment, provide employers with job-ready talent, and help colleges stay sustainable and relevant in a changing educational landscape.

#Workcred’s Dr. Talisa Jackson just returned from the #CBExchange Conference. In her session, “Standing at the Forefront of Cybersecurity,” she shared how a competency-based accreditation model validates real-world skills, & scales workforce-ready learning.

Environmental public health (EPH) professionals protect communities by overseeing safe food, water, housing & environments. But the workforce is under strain! Credentialing offers a solution—setting clear, validated standards & building trust.

The world of work is changing fast &community colleges are ready to meet the challenge. Certification + Degree (C+D) pathways blend academic rigor with industry credentials, creating flexible, career-ready programs that connect education to the workforce.
