Idaho Division of Career and Technical Education
Idaho’s Division of Career and Technical Education prepares Idaho’s youth and adults for high-skill, in-demand careers, helps residents communicate their specific skills to employers, and simplifies the hiring process for businesses across the state.
Idaho’s digital credential platform, SkillStack®, allows Idaho’s educators to validate skills, leading to industry-relevant digital badges and giving a more complete picture of what an applicant can do by proving they’ve mastered specific skills desired by employers.
The support and resources provided by 1EdTech helped the program grow across the state, and it continues to expand, improving the lives of Idahoans daily.

It’s exciting to see how far we’ve come in the last few years to make the vision of our digital credential platform a reality. Having the ability to collaborate with a group of like-minded individuals, who support education, has been one the biggest benefits of our 1EdTech membership, and validates the work we are doing.
Wichita State University
Wichita State University is creating new opportunities for learners and employers through its innovative Badges Program. Working through 1EdTech’s Wellspring Initiative, WSU was able to expand its already successful program by working more closely with industry leaders.
The insightful collaboration helped to verify that a learner who earns a badge has the skills employers are looking for when hiring. Now, the program is getting attention and funding from a variety of sectors, allowing the university to expand the program and possibilities for all.
Bridge the Gap Between Learning and Work With Open Standards

I’ve done badges a lot of different ways, and this is the future. It’s these partnerships that are the key to success, for all of us. Badges and credentials only have value if someone gives them value.
The process we went through with Wellspring, asking employers for their opinions and listening to them, gave our badges value because they are validated. We know that what we identified as the skills and competencies are indeed what they need in the workplace.
Companies are not necessarily interested in the grade you receive in a course. They are more interested in what you learn and what you can do. A CLR shows that. Through 1EdTech, our platform can easily and safely share information with other platforms, allowing learners to have that information in one place and more easily move from education to work.
Territorium, an international edtech company, joined 1EdTech when it moved into the US market, and found a community of like-minded suppliers and educational institutions looking to help learners succeed based on their specific skills.
Through 1EdTech’s Comprehensive Learner Record Standard™ (CLR Standard™), it’s easier for Territorium to share data with a variety of technologies to capture all a learner knows and can do, so they can go on to share it with potential employers. The company is excited to continue collaboration and innovation to discover new possibilities for learners in the future.
