Higher education leaders and lawmakers are pushing for more 'stackable credentials,' or pathways for Colorado students to get education and training for a job.
DENVER — Metropolitan State University of Denver is one of Colorado’s largest four-year institutions, but some students are spending just months there — not years — before joining the workforce.“Stackable credentials are really a convergence of individuals wanting to learn in smaller chunks and industries being willing to accept those chunks,” said Terry Bower, associate vice president of Innovative and Lifelong Learning at MSU Denver.
“We want to help you take that first step in your education, and if you decide you have enough, we’re going to tell you how much money you can make based on Colorado Department of Labor information and go get a job,” Bower said. For students who decide they want to add more credentials or work toward a degree, they can return to MSU with no credits lost.
