Stackable Credential Pathways Initiative

During the 2022 legislative session, the General Assembly passed Senate Bill 22-192 to improve access to quality credentials of value in the workplace and create greater alignment between credentials and work-based learning. The law mandates that CDHE work with other government agencies and stakeholders from industry, K12, and higher education to develop ten stackable credential pathways across five high-demand, high-growth industries by December 31, 2025. The bill also authorizes the department to distribute General Fund and State and Local Fiscal Recovery Fund dollars to institutions of higher education to support improved alignment and credential stackability.
