Core Skills Institute

In the last 12 months, BCSI awarded 1754 skills badges to students and trainees in 20 different states. We engaged new programs in Texas, California, New Hampshire, Maryland, and Massachusetts. These new programs included federal education training programs such as the Foundation for Education in Science at the National Institutes of Health. Our existing programs report that our microcredentials give their graduates an edge when they enter the workforce. Also reported in our data, the programs see marked improvement in the quality of their training programs after being tested by BCSi. It would be difficult to quantify this impact, but the average program impacts 30-45 students per year and we interact with dozens of partner programs.
