Recommendations From the Policy Leadership Trust
To ensure that our postsecondary education system is modernizing to better meet the needs of today’s students, JFF’s Policy Leadership Trust has developed practitioner-informed policy design principles for short-term credential programs. Recommendations focus on how to ensure the quality of these programs, how to make data more aligned and accessible, and how to secure funding for institutions and students. We will release these recommendation on July 26, and we hope policymakers will look at them for guidance as they develop strategies to expand access to high-quality short-term credential programs that lead to equitable outcomes for students.
