SCALE — verified, employer-visible skills

Recruit apprentices with confidence, not guesswork

Instead of transcripts that only show course titles and grades, employers see exactly which employer-defined skills a candidate has demonstrated — verified against criteria employers helped set.

See skill mastery as it happens

Badges are issued the moment a skill outcome is met, so employers get a live, evolving picture of a student's or apprentice's growing skill set instead of waiting for program completion.

Reduce onboarding and training risk

Competency-level credentials identify candidates genuinely ready for specific apprenticeship tasks or entry-level roles, reducing mismatches and shortening ramp-up after hire.

Track RSI completion automatically

For employers of record in Registered Apprenticeship programs, SCALE provides a transparent, verifiable record of RSI progress — supporting compliance reporting and reducing manual tracking.

Shape the curriculum-to-skills pipeline

Because the Skills Cafeteria is employer-defined, participating employers help determine which competencies are tracked and badged — reflecting what they actually hire for.

Lower-cost, higher-signal recruiting

Employers can browse verified skill profiles as a sourcing tool — more targeted and lower cost than broad job postings, especially for hard-to-fill technical and skilled-trade roles.

Get seen by employers while you're still learning

Every mapped skill you complete becomes a visible, shareable credential immediately — employers can discover your progress before you finish the program.

Turn coursework into proof, automatically

No separate portfolio or after-the-fact certificate application. As your instructor grades coursework against mapped outcomes, the credential is issued to you directly.

Make your RSI progress count toward your career

Registered apprentices convert Related and Supplemental Instruction into badge-based proof of competency for their employer of record and future employers — not just a compliance line item.

Build a portable, verifiable credential record

Badges live on your own credential record via Canvas Credentials/Badgr and can be shared with employers, added to a resume or LinkedIn, or presented in interviews.

Stand out earlier in your program

Credentials accumulate continuously rather than only at completion — useful for landing internships, apprenticeships, or part-time work while still enrolled.

Skills-first visibility, not just a degree title

Show employers the granular competencies behind your coursework — helpful for career-changers and students building toward a specific trade or technical role.
