Designing education toward the future of work.
About us
Education Design Lab (“the Lab”) is a national nonprofit helping educators and workforce groups respond to the changing needs of both learners and employers. The Lab has partnered with some of the most aspirational institutions, and often their ecosystem partners, as they consider how to design their offerings to serve learners flexibly with more data-driven, human-centered models, processes and tools. Our biggest areas of work include improved career pathway visibility, micro-pathways, 21st Century skills, micro-credentials, alternative on-ramps to degree, upskilling workers and training college leadership teams in change management and agile prototyping. The Lab is unlike other organizations in the nonprofit education space. We are boundary spanners and work across disciplines and alongside schools, employers, entrepreneurs, government, foundations, nonprofits, and innovators. We are known for our work on the ground and have significant experience managing national and local learning cohorts, working with organizations such as Ascendium, The Lumina Foundation, the Gates Foundation, Walmart, American Council on Education, and the ECMC Foundation. To learn more about the work we do and what we care about, visit www.eddesignlab.org and follow us on LinkedIn, Instagram, Threads, X, YouTube, TikTok & Facebook!

Okay friends and colleagues, I am just beaming today. ☀️ We've just led a 🥳 celebratory retrospective 🥳 of the first year (really 22 months, no big deal) of the Skills Validation Network. I am in awe of what this Network was able to accomplish, as co-designers, as collaborators, from our respective seats in over 15 organizations across the skills ecosystem. It was the true definition of rolling up our collective sleeves to tackle a wicked issue - the need for more and better ways to validate the skills of ⭐️ STARs ⭐️, ways which value skills gained through their work and life experiences. 🌈 The first image below shows the Network's Design Arc, and all the tools and touchpoints we generated along the way. 🤝 The second shows our stakeholder engagement efforts, as we had STARs, employers, and career counselors engaged as co-designers throughout the process. And now... three exciting announcements! 📣 🎟️ Education Design Lab will be facilitating a public Virtual Showcase of this work -- October 10 | 11-12pm ET. Keep an eye on LinkedIn and your inboxes for more details! 📄 In support of this event, we'll release a companion report providing an overview of the Network's innovative skills validation prototypes, findings from our stakeholder research, and potential next steps. 🚀 And finally, the Skills Validation Network will "re-launch" this fall for our next phase of exploration! We invite all who are interested in engaging to reach out. Thanks so much to Walmart.org, Patti Constantakis and Sean Murphy for your support of this important work. 🙏 Thanks also to the Lab's SVN core team Meghan Raftery, Nishita Chheda, Faby Gagne, Ph.D., and Naomi Boyer, along with the Lab's Design Practice team, Miriam Swords Kalk, McKenzie Paterson, Elisabeth Fellowes, and Courtney Bell, for your significant contributions! ❤️ Accredicity | AdeptID | Aspire Ability | AstrumU® | CAEL | Edalex | JobPaths | National Student Clearinghouse | Merify | Muzzy Lane Software | Opportunity@Work | Level Data | SkillUp Coalition | Solutions for Information Design, Inc. | Territorium | Vametric | Vantage Point Consulting, Inc. | Western Governors University #skills #skillsvalidation #innovation #communityofpractice #network #stars #economicmobility

As our state community colleges develop education-to-work pathways, dual enrollment/concurrent credit pathways for high school students must be dovetailed. Thank you Education Design Lab for sharing these first-year insights from the project. 1. Understand the local context, including historical and cultural aspects. 2. Select the right ecosystem partners. 3. Provide support for design and implementation to build capacity. 4. Establish college-employer partnerships to create pathways. 5. Prioritize a student-centered journey using DEEP practices.
