2026 State of Credentialing Webinar

Demonstrating program value is now credential issuers' #1 and fastest-growing strategic priority, doubling year over year from 22% to 44%. Yet their ability to prove it went the other direction: structured outcome tracking was nearly cut in half, and only 12% of issuers can demonstrate learner career advancement with data. Expectations are rising while the evidence base thins.

Closing that gap takes more than better tracking. Programs that help learners turn credentials into real career outcomes — clearer skills, stronger employer recognition, a concrete next step — create more value and the evidence of it at the same time. That evidence earns leadership backing, and convinces new learners to enroll.

In this webinar, you will:

• Discover new 2026 data from nearly 200 credential issuers and 1,000 learners — where credential value stalls after issuance, what learners want next, and what the most successful programs do differently.
• Hear from leaders at City & Guilds, CredLens, and Accredible — bringing the issuer, outcomes-data, and platform perspectives on helping learners turn credentials into careers and proving it worked.
• Leave equipped with practical recommendations to strengthen learner outcomes, demonstrate program impact to leadership, and grow enrollment.
