UPCEA, the online and professional education association, today released a new guidebook designed to help colleges and universities strengthen employer partnerships and build institutional capacity for workforce-aligned credential innovation. Developed through a multi-year grant-funded initiative, Expanding Institutional Capacity for Employer Engagement in Credential Innovation provides higher education leaders with practical frameworks, implementation tools, and practitioner-informed strategies for advancing University-to-Business (U2B) engagement. The guidebook builds on UPCEA’s ongoing multi-year credential innovation initiative focused on accelerating the development and delivery of workforce-responsive, noncredit credentials and skills-based learning pathways.
