The USQF will provide a widely accepted tool to address the needs of lifelong learners and the labor market.
The United States does not have a National Qualifications Framework (NQF) currently. The development of a USQF will assist with recognition, mobility, and interoperability by helping stakeholders understand new and existing qualifications. It will contribute to workforce development and continued education accessibility.
Not all learners take the same path. By supporting the validity of various types of learning, an NQF increases opportunities
NQFs educate about education. They increase visibility and help parents, students, and employers understand what value a credential holds.

Why Join Us?
The goal of the USQF is to BENEFIT LEARNERS.
In order for a National Qualifications Framework to survive, there must be participation from all stakeholders across a vast array of sectors.
