CanCred partners with Ibbaka to launch GoFrameworks alignment hub

CanCred partners with Ibbaka to launch GoFrameworks alignment hub
Jul 14, 21

CanCred by Learning Agents has partnered with Ibbaka Performance of Vancouver to launch the GoFrameworks.io alignment hub, a flexible and easy way to align micro-credentials and other open badges to key skill and competency frameworks used by educators and employers, along with other important frameworks such as the UN Sustainable Development Goals. CanCred Factory subscribers at the Pro level can quickly align badges to one or more of the frameworks on the GoFrameworks hub through an API-enabled platform integration.

For its launch, GoFrameworks is featuring five frameworks: Ontario Essential Employability Skills, Shopify’s Remote Working Skills, the US Department of Labor’s Advanced Manufacturing Model, the Ibbaka Open Competency Model for Design Thinking and the UN Sustainable Development Goals. Other frameworks will be added in the coming months.

The World Economic Forum has identified skill gaps as a critical risk to economic recovery and growth “Skills gaps continue to be high as in-demand skills across jobs change in the next five years.” Competency frameworks are the map and micro-credentials are the compass to close these gaps.

Ways to get involved

  • Create badges on CanCred Factory and align them to frameworks on GoFrameworks hub
  • Suggest competency models or frameworks for inclusion
  • Build your own framework (there is no charge if you are willing to make it public and share it under a Creative Commons license)
  • Suggest your own ideas to infoATgoframeworks.io
