SOLID Data: What it Means

For the U.S. to meet the growing demand for skills and credential data, it is essential that this information be structured, open, linked, interoperable, and durable (SOLID). Credential Engine ensures this by advancing CTDL, the only comprehensive open standard for describing and linking credentials, learning, and work ecosystems, as the foundation for this work.

Recognition of Prior Learning: Helping People Move Forward

Recognition of prior learning (RPL) is the process of providing formal acknowledgment and credit for knowledge, skills, and abilities people have gained through work experience, military service, self-study, volunteering, and/or previous education. This includes credit for prior learning (CPL), transfer credit between institutions, and validation of non-traditional learning experiences. RPL empowers people to move forward and build on what they already know rather than starting over, accelerating pathways to credentials and careers.
