Skills are often invisible - and that’s a global problem. Traditional resumes typically capture only 20% of a person’s talent, leaving hard-won, life-wide skills unrecognised by employers.

In this webinar, the panelists and guest speakers move beyond the technical acronyms to hear the most important perspective in the skills ecosystem: The Learner and hear from them sharing about the profound "Aha!" moment of seeing their unseen skills finally verified and portable.

In this session, we explored:
✅ How the XCredit ecosystem (funded by Walmart) and SkillsAware translate lived experience into verified data.
✅Why durable skills, like leadership and adaptability, are the most critical yet least evidenced capabilities in the modern market.
✅ The human element: ensuring technology accelerates recognition without sacrificing the learner experience.

Speakers:

  • Tara Laughlin, Ed.D. (Education Design Lab) – a leading voice in durable skills and the architect of learner-centered credentialing models.
  • Nishita Chheda (Education Design Lab) – expert in skills-based research and learner advocacy.
  • Margo Griffith (Edalex / SkillsAware) – Principal Skills Consultant focused on solving the wicked problem of skills recognition through auditable evidence.
  • The Learners – hear directly from three professionals about the “Aha!” moment of seeing their unseen skills finally verified and portable.
