Core Learning Exchange is New Strategic Partner of NCATC
Partnership aims to meet needs of skills-based economy
Boulder, CO. April 11, 2022 - Core Learning Exchange (Core-LX) is pleased to announce its strategic partnership with the National Coalition of Advanced Technology Centers (NCATC). The partners aim to leverage education, innovation, and technology to meet the needs of K-16 in the rapidly evolving skills-based economy.
Business and industry are quickly evolving with new technologies being launched every day. As companies continue to transform, it is important to ensure that the workforce is ready to leverage those new technologies. Employers need to stay competitive in the marketplace, and employees need to earn a living wage.
NCATC, with over 170 member organizations (corporations, universities, community, and technical colleges, and CTE high schools) promotes the use of advanced technology applications to enhance economic and workforce development programs and services. NCATC is at the vanguard of Industry 4.0.
Core-LX provides an education and training platform for K-12, community and technical colleges and employers that supports the skills-based economy. Core-LX provides unlimited access to best of breed mastery-based curriculum with partners such as Almon Inc., uniteSTEM and Infosec Learning in a single subscription granting access to over 250 courses spanning numerous career pathways. Courses are competency-based, natively digital, and designed to be delivered by an in-person or remote instructor.
“We are excited to be a Strategic Partner of NCATC and honored to be the first K-16 competency-based education provider in a group that includes best-in-class industry partners,” says Jeff Katzman, CEO of Core Learning Exchange.
“Core-LX is among the very best cloud-based providers of real-world, industry-connected courses focused on skills development that employers seek from all students. NCATC is thrilled to welcome them as one of our newest Strategic Partners,” says Craig McAtee, NCATC Executive Director & CEO.
Core-LX is a member of the community led by the T3 Network (US Chamber of Commerce), Open Skills Network, and IMS Global Consortium. A key goal is to create standardized competency definitions of skills and document them in an IMS Global CLR machine-readable format to enable jobseekers and employers to connect. As students and employees master new skills, Core-LX records each competency in a Comprehensive Learner Record (CLR), a cloud-based wallet application, that travels with individuals throughout their career and life-long learning.
