Wellspring Initiative Resources
The Wellspring Initiative aims to accelerate the adoption of an education-to-work ecosystem based on open technology standards. Wellspring envisions an environment where educators and employers collaborate on education curricula focused on skills, learners control their skills-based achievements through secure and verifiable digital credentials, and employers find highly qualified talent based on their verifiable credentials.

These organizations worked in education-industry cohorts to collaboratively develop competency frameworks that align educational program outcomes with competencies related to specific job roles. The resulting competency frameworks are published and machine-readable using the 1EdTech CASE open standard. *These organizations participated but did not complete the program.
