Finding and Preparing a Diverse Research Talent Pipeline: Part 2

The Non-Degree Credentials Research Network held a spring conference on March 27-28, 2023 to consider priorities and challenges in seven areas: 1) global developments; 2) federal industrial policy’s implications on academic research; 3) noncredit higher education, 4) work-based learning; 5) non-degree credentials, socioeconomic mobility and labor market; and 6) innovations in research and data infrastructure. The seventh focused on preparing a diverse research talent pipeline.

The following conversation, abridged and edited from the transcript of the panel discussion, is the second part of a two-part series that features insights from Matthew Linton, senior manager of programs and publications, on CGS’s microcredentials project and the National Name Exchange, and how they both contribute to diversity in graduate education.
