Join our upcoming webinar, “Open Forum Research Webinar” 
Tuesday January 28th, 2025 from 1-2pm ET / 10-11am PT.

The NCRN would like to invite members to share their individual research with the network. In an “open forum” environment, sharing individual research can provide invaluable feedback and insights. Join us to connect with the rest of the NCRN network for an open discussion about emerging research in the field of noncredit education and collaborate with fellow researchers. If you have a current research project and/or interest, you are invited to briefly (5-10 min) share for discussion and feedback in this open forum.

The upcoming NCRN Conference will be held on May 28th, 2025 at George Washington University. Register here.

We invite speaker proposals for the conference. Prepare your proposal for a 10-minute segment, ideally with 2-3 minutes for Q&A. Priority themes for the conference are data systems, quality assurance, role of technology and AI, categorization, and outcomes/value, but all proposals will be considered. Submit your proposal here.

The NCRN is a project funded through a grant from Lumina Foundation and managed by researchers at the George Washington Institute of Public Policy (GWIPP) and the Rutgers University Education and Employment Research Center (EERC). The NCRN is a multi-disciplinary community of scholars, practitioners and policymakers that focuses on the little-understood role of certificates, certifications and other non-degree credentials in the labor market.
