A series of four workshops will be conducted to support community colleges' development and expansion of awarding academic credit for industry credentials. This third session focuses on designing effective internal processes to ensure that students are aware that they can earn credit and the process for doing so. This will also include examples for how to communicate this externally to prospective students and employer partners.
