New Competency-based Initiative by LinkedIn

Colleagues,

Cynthia Zafft called my attention to Skillful.com , a new competency-based Markle foundation-funded initiative by LinkedIn, tying together job seekers, employers and education providers, including colleges. It looks like it could be a useful tool for career pathways systems. Although it’s still very new and limited so far to Colorado and the greater Phoenix area, it will be interesting to see how it works there, and if it is picked up in other states. Something to keep an eye on.

Here's an article about it.

I wonder if our Colorado or greater Phoenix AZ area colleagues can tell us more about this.
