What’s the issue? Training & credentials are ineligible for 529s. America’s workforce is comprised mostly of middle-skill jobs that require more than a high school education but not a bachelor’s degree, according to the National Skills Coalition. A differentiator amid the 21st century workforce economy is postsecondary credentialing—for workers with or without a college degree.

Much of this credentialing and training is provided by us, associations and organizations supporting industries and professions that drive our economy and strengthen our communities.
