Why Forward-Thinking Institutions Are Fast-Tracking Their Learning and Employment Record (LER) Rollout

The New Urgency in Higher Education

Higher education leaders are under growing pressure to connect learning with real-world outcomes. Students expect more than a transcript—they expect clarity on how their education links to careers. Employers want clear, verifiable evidence of skills. The Learning and Employment Record (LER) has emerged as a critical tool in this environment.

What an LER Really Delivers

An LER provides a comprehensive, portable digital record of students’ learning and achievements—from courses and credentials to co-curricular experiences. It doesn’t just list what students have done. It makes those experiences visible, verifiable, and valuable in the job market.

Breaking the Myth of Complexity

Too many institutions assume implementing an LER is a massive, multi-year undertaking. But with Territorium, that’s no longer the case. We’ve developed a streamlined, accelerated approach that gets colleges and universities up and running in weeks—not months.

Everything You Need to Deliver Impact

With Territorium’s LER, institutions gain access to a robust feature set from the start:

• AI-powered mapping of courses to in-demand skills
• Skill-tagged records and digital credentials
• Student-owned credential wallets

Lower Costs, Higher Impact

We’ve also restructured our initial package to reduce the cost barrier—without compromising capability. The result is a more accessible entry point for institutions ready to act now rather than delay meaningful transformation.

Supporting Student Success at Scale

The benefits are clear. LERs empower students to see their progress, articulate their skills, and stand out to employers. They provide academic leaders with data on learning outcomes and help institutions align programs with the evolving labor market.

A Competitive Edge in Enrollment and Retention

Beyond student empowerment, LERs support institutional strategy. They help attract and retain learners looking for a return on investment. They provide tangible evidence of value. And they enable new models for credentialing, transfer, and workforce partnerships.

Leading Institutions Are Moving Now

Campuses that are launching LERs today aren’t waiting for consensus—they’re shaping the future. They recognize that student success requires more than transcripts. It needs a record that evolves with the learner, is built on skills, and travels with them through every opportunity.

Move Forward, Not Later

With accelerated implementation, a lower cost of entry, and powerful outcomes for learners and institutions alike, the time to act is now. A modern, skill-aligned LER isn’t a future investment. It’s a present-tense imperative.
