The law mandates that CDHE work with other government agencies and stakeholders from industry, K12, and higher education to develop ten stackable credential pathways across five high-demand, high-growth industries by December 31, 2025. The bill also authorizes the department to distribute General Fund and State and Local Fiscal Recovery Fund dollars to institutions of higher education to support improved alignment and credential stackability. <a href="https://cwdc.colorado.gov/resources/colorado-talent-pipeline-report">Colorado’s 2021 Talent Pipeline Report</a> on top jobs and critical industries helped inform CDHE’s focus on building stackable credential pathways in the following industries: <ul><li class="MsoNoSpacing">Behavioral Health</li> <li class="MsoNoSpacing">Cybersecurity</li> <li class="MsoNoSpacing">Education</li> <li class="MsoNoSpacing">Healthcare</li> <li class="MsoNoSpacing">Programming/Developer</li> </ul><dl class="ckeditor-accordion"><dt>Meet the Team</dt> <dd> Allana Farley, Credential Pathways Coordinator Allana leads efforts to build out stackable credentials in education, creating pathways to teacher licensure and address the teacher shortage in our state.

These dollars can be used to support students who complete non-degree credentials that 1) are part of an industry-aligned pathway, 2) are associated with industries identified in the Talent Pipeline Report, 3) are stackable, and 4) address critical job shortages. CDHE will distribute an additional $228,352 to the Colorado Community College System for staff support, training, and development of pathways between credential and academic programs. CDHE will distribute $450,000 in Credential Pathways Technical Assistance Grants. CDHE is soliciting requests from public institutions of higher education for funding to support the development of high-quality stackable nondegree credentials in high-value industries. Funding will be distributed to institutions of higher education as technical assistance grants to be used for faculty stipends, data infrastructure, cost of prior learning assessments, and contract support necessary for the development of high-quality stackable credential pathways leading to high-value occupations. Round One of funding is currently open.

The law mandates that CDHE work with other government agencies and stakeholders from industry, K12, and higher education to develop ten stackable credential pathways across five high-demand, high-growth industries by December 31, 2025. The bill also authorizes the department to distribute General Fund and State and Local Fiscal Recovery Fund dollars to institutions of higher education to support improved alignment and credential stackability. <a href="https://cwdc.colorado.gov/resources/colorado-talent-pipeline-report">Colorado’s 2021 Talent Pipeline Report</a> on top jobs and critical industries helped inform CDHE’s focus on building stackable credential pathways in the following industries: <ul><li class="MsoNoSpacing">Behavioral Health</li> <li class="MsoNoSpacing">Cybersecurity</li> <li class="MsoNoSpacing">Education</li> <li class="MsoNoSpacing">Healthcare</li> <li class="MsoNoSpacing">Programming/Developer</li> </ul><dl class="ckeditor-accordion"><dt>Meet the Team</dt> <dd> Allana Farley, Credential Pathways Coordinator Allana leads efforts to build out stackable credentials in education, creating pathways to teacher licensure and address the teacher shortage in our state.

These dollars can be used to support students who complete non-degree credentials that 1) are part of an industry-aligned pathway, 2) are associated with industries identified in the Talent Pipeline Report, 3) are stackable, and 4) address critical job shortages. CDHE will distribute an additional $228,352 to the Colorado Community College System for staff support, training, and development of pathways between credential and academic programs. CDHE will distribute $450,000 in Credential Pathways Technical Assistance Grants. CDHE is soliciting requests from public institutions of higher education for funding to support the development of high-quality stackable nondegree credentials in high-value industries. Funding will be distributed to institutions of higher education as technical assistance grants to be used for faculty stipends, data infrastructure, cost of prior learning assessments, and contract support necessary for the development of high-quality stackable credential pathways leading to high-value occupations. Round One of funding is currently open.
