Competency-Based, Career-Ready: Building Lifelong Learning Programs That Evolve with the Workforce
Kelly Heuer Johnna Gueorguieva
Description
As the workforce evolves, credentialing organizations face pressure to move beyond static certifications toward continuous, career-aligned learning. Competency frameworks are key—providing structured, scalable ways to define, assess, and validate real-world skills across a learner’s journey. This panel features leaders who are designing and applying these frameworks to modernize assessments, personalize learning, and extend certification value. Panelists will share how they align content and assessment to competencies, use modular learning and microcredentials, and support lifelong skill development. The session will also explore business impacts such as improved agility, stronger employer alignment, and scalable reskilling pathways. Attendees will leave with practical insights to begin or enhance their own competency-based programs.
