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.

The National Qualification Framework (NQF) was established as a tool to create an equal society and provide additional opportunities for the underprivileged.

Having a National Qualifications Framework opens up the recruitment pool. When employers say “bachelor's degree or equivalent” what does “equivalent” mean? The NQF helps answer that question.

In order for a National Qualifications Framework to survive, there must be participation from all stakeholders across a vast array of sectors.
