Every year millions of Americans gain valuable college credit-worthy learning through workplace training, the military, apprenticeships, & professional certifications. Nearly all of this learning goes unrecognized by colleges & universities. Without a consistent way to recognize, reward, and transfer this learning, many people are left with postsecondary-level skills and abilities but no credit to show for it. The All Learning Counts (ALC) State Policy Toolkit seeks to support states in ensuring all college-level learning is applied to college credentials. Such efforts promise to expand opportunities for academic and career advancement, meet growing demand for jobs in new sectors, and dismantle barriers to economic and social mobility. This toolkit includes: State policy priorities & must-haves: 5 public policy priorities that should be included in ALC statewide agendas. State policy exemplars: several state policy exemplars for each of the 5 public policy priorities. Barriers & solutions: a series of short memos and examples that address common barriers to adopting an ALC statewide agenda. No Time to Waste: Standards for Statewide Crosswalks That Ensure All Learning Counts, a report that clarifies how states can create clear and comprehensive crosswalks that show how learning from multiple providers can be combined to put people closer to a degree or credential of value.
