Abstract	There are nearly one million credentials offered in the United States and approximately $1.9 trillion per year spent on education and training. Credential transparency enables stakeholders in learning and job ecosystems to explore and compare credentials in order to make better decisions about the best options for learning, advancement, and meaningful careers. In this article, the authors lay out the real and immediate opportunities for using public information about credentials and competencies to make sense of the credentialing landscape, build tools and systems that empower people to effectively use this information in decision making, and develop postsecondary credentialing practices in ways that strengthen public trust.
