Credentialing Programs
This session will provide an overview of how credentialing programs work, including how the Department of Labor's Registered Apprenticeship program might be used as a way to implement a credentialing program. Program administrators and participants from two well-established credentialing programs - Ohio's PATHS program and the Kansas Ad Astra program - will share their experience and lessons learned. Participants will also hear about a new state credentialing initiative in Pennsylvania.
