| Abstract | U.S. employers are struggling to find qualified applicants across a range of career sectors. In 12 career areas--including healthcare, computers and mathematics--demand for workers exceeded available supply by a total of 4.4 million job openings in 2016. This gap threatens the economy, undermines the innovation and competitiveness in many of the leading industries and will only worsen in a fast-changing market where jobs increasingly blend capabilities from different domains. Industry-recognized credentials help address this skills gap by conveying a student's career readiness because they validate the knowledge and skills required for success in a given occupation or industry. In fact, full-time employees with an industry credential earn more than their counterparts without one, and in some cases, the salaries of nondegree credential holders' were found to be similar to workers with college degrees. During the research process, many states indicated they are working to improve the link between their career and technical education (CTE) programs and their labor markets. Yet the research found that half of all states are not collecting the necessary data to know how aligned their credential programs are with employer demand, and not a single state's secondary credential program measures as "highly aligned" with the job market. The 2018 reauthorization of the $1.2 billion Carl D. Perkins Career and Technical Education Act offers states an ideal opportunity to reassess the impact of their programs and make credentials a metric for success. This report serves as a jumping off point for states to begin conversations about which credentials are most valuable and lead students to good careers. The findings provide a basis for practical changes in credential programs that can improve the chances of job market success for many young people. (ERIC). |
