| Presenters | |
| Abstract: | I presented at a graduate seminar on our research exploring the role of non-degree credential (NDC) programs in advancing the skilled STEM workforce. NDC programs offer affordable and time-efficient pathways to develop the knowledge, skills, and competencies required for STEM employment. However, despite their potential, several challenges limit their broader impact. To better understand how academic institutions and employers design and implement these programs, we conducted a Systematic Literature Review (SLR) to identify and synthesize empirical studies focused on STEM workforce development through NDCs. |
