Education Design Lab’s XCredit initiative is about validating and credentialing an individual’s existing skills and making them visible to employers. 

It’s ultimately about helping individuals with valuable skills gain recognition and access to better opportunities.

Through this Career Advancement pilot, we are offering participants an opportunity to validate their existing 21st-century or “soft” skills, earn credentials, and signal their skills to current and future employers.

XCredit is inviting employed individuals who are seeking advancement and better opportunities in their career journeys to participate in our pilot program. 

We view you as the experts and highly value your feedback. We want to learn from you and understand your needs and pain points. This will help us determine what improvements need to be made to better serve you. 

If you have questions about whether you qualify for participation, please contact us at xcredit@eddesignlab.org

• The pilot is being conducted online through the summer of 2023.

• We will ask you to sign up into the XCredit ecosystem and take assessments (15-20 mins each)

• To earn a credential, you need to take 4 assessments (15-20 mins each) and show mastery of each. 

• If you show mastery of the skills, you will receive a credential that you can share with current and future employers, as well as on social media and other talent marketplaces.

• We will compensate you for sharing your experience with us through surveys, and potentially focus groups and interviews
