New Partnership: CredLens and Credential Engine connecting credential transparency with quality outcomes data

Connecting credential transparency with verified quality metrics, CredLens has partnered with Credential Engine to integrate outcome data directly into open credential registries. The joint effort aims to help colleges and workforce leaders demonstrate the tangible career value of non-degree credentials by linking rich program details with aggregate job placement and earnings outcomes.

Credential Engine and CredLens have partnered to connect credential transparency with performance and outcomes data, giving learners, employers, states, and policymakers a more complete picture of what credentials offer and deliver.

Credential Engine provides the infrastructure to describe and publish credential information through the Credential Registry and CTDL.

CredLens matches that data with trusted administrative sources to measure employment, earnings, and education outcomes.

The partnership supports a range of needs, including Credentials of Value initiatives, WIOA accountability reporting, Workforce Pell implementation, and federal funding eligibility.

What this means for CredLens clients

If your credentials are already registered in the Credential Registry, we can bring that information into your CredLens outcomes reporting automatically. If they aren't, we can help you register. Either way, you'll have one connected view of what your credentials are and what they deliver.

We're also exploring ways to expand data access and research opportunities across both platforms.
