Our latest insights on education, assessments, and employability.
From Records to Readiness
Higher education has long measured progress by courses completed and degrees conferred. But employers are asking a different question: what can graduates actually do? The answer lies in verified skills data that connects learning to employability.
LifeJourney bridges this gap by converting academic, experiential, and assessment data into a comprehensive Learning and Employment Record. This record captures what a learner knows, what they have demonstrated, and how those capabilities align to real jobs. It transforms static transcripts into living skill profiles.
When students earn microcredentials, complete work-based learning, or demonstrate mastery through assessments, LifeJourney verifies and stores those achievements as portable credentials. Each record becomes evidence supporting a pathway to employment.
Institutions benefit by being able to prove learning outcomes with data rather than claims. They can show how programs build specific skills aligned to career frameworks, helping students see relevance and employers see readiness. This closes the gap between academic success and workforce demand.
Employers gain access to richer talent data. Instead of sorting through degrees and GPAs, they can view specific verified skills tied to competencies. This creates faster, more accurate hiring pipelines and supports skills-based hiring practices that value demonstrated ability.
For learners, the benefit is lifelong mobility. As they move between institutions or jobs, their verified skills travel with them. They no longer start from zero when they change direction. Every learning experience contributes to a growing portfolio of evidence.
This model also improves retention. When students see how their progress connects to employability, motivation increases. Clear visibility of skill development reinforces persistence and completion.
From an institutional perspective, LifeJourney creates a continuous feedback loop. Assessment data informs curriculum design, credential data supports accreditation, and employment outcomes strengthen program relevance. Each part reinforces the next.
In a skills-driven economy, readiness is the new record. LifeJourney turns institutional data into verified employability signals that benefit learners, employers, and educators alike.
