GOAL 3: Skill Certification – Grow the Talent Supply

Competency-based certificates are a measure of talent. The total number of certificates reported will be based on two sub-measures:

 

  • Registered Certificates – We will monitor and report registered certificates based on data reported on ACT’s website.
  • Non-registered Certificates – We will monitor and report non-registered certificates from official CRC program websites. The certificate data must be publicly available with some level of transparency to be included.
