In this thought-provoking YouTube video, Zahi Atallah and Chris Forde explore the societal need for alternative credentials in two-year colleges. We recognize that traditional degrees and certificates may not be the only path to success in today's rapidly evolving job market. As community colleges continue to play an increasingly important role in workforce development and career training, it's becoming clear that traditional degrees and certificates may not always be the most effective or appropriate way to credential students.

Traditionally, students who attended a two-year college had to complete a two-year program to receive an associate degree or a certificate in less than a year. However, with the advent of stackable credentialing, students can earn certificates and credentials at various points during their higher education.

We delve into the idea of competency-based education and how it aligns with the stackable credentialing concept. Micro-credentials and upward mobility in education and the workforce are discussed as well.
