Abstract

Navigating life and charting a path towards educational goals and professional advancement is challenging in troubled water. When structures and trusted tools previously relied on begin to falter, chaos can beset those on the journey. Therefore, innovation and new ideas must be championed and tested to develop a greater sense of the possible and to provide unique and tailored solutions to everyone. The authors advise the adoption of the Diamond of Interoperability, a set of four principal statements—open skills, open achievements, open records, open pathways—to support the workforce development needed for the future of work. These ideas are rooted in transparency, collaboration, transformation, and interoperable technology to provide answers to the current challenges in education and hiring in the turbulent waters of the 21st century economy.
