From Learning to Earning: How Jones College’s Online Workforce College Scaled Workforce Training and Earned National Recognition

As institutions expand their credentialing strategies to meet the evolving needs of modern learners, continuing and professional education units are playing a critical role in leading digital transformation, improving access, and aligning learning with workforce relevance. But what does scalable innovation and issuing thousands of credentials for underserved learners look like in practice?

In this exclusive session, we spotlight Jones College’s Online Workforce College (OWC), a U.S. based institution recently named a finalist in the 1EdTech Learning Impact Awards, to explore how their two-person team has built a scalable, employer-aligned, and learner-first training model. Learn how OWC, powered by Eduframe and integrated with Canvas LMS and Salesforce, issues over 125,000 credentials, aligns programs to local labor needs, and leverages a Comprehensive Learner Record (CLR) to tell the full learner story.

This session is tailored for U.S. institutions and continuing education professionals looking to grow alternative and non-degree credentialing initiatives, build stackable credentials, and create workforce-relevant learning experiences at scale.

Whether you’re running a workforce training unit, alternative credentials program, or exploring the power of CLR, you’ll leave with actionable ideas you can bring to your own institution:

  • Scaling with a Small Team: Learn how OWC delivers 700+ training modules to over 4,000 learners annually with only two staff members, using automation and integrated systems.

  • Designing Stackable, Career-Aligned Credentials: Get insights into how OWC collaborates with employers to build programs that reflect real labor market demand.

  • Implementing the Comprehensive Learner Record (CLR): Discover how CLR is used to capture and communicate the full breadth of learner achievements and skills.

  • Driving Operational Efficiency Through Integration: Explore how the combination of Eduframe, Canvas, and Salesforce streamlines the entire learner journey from enrollment to credential.
