The Workforce Talent Educators Association (WTEA) is a unified group of educators, employers, and stakeholders who value equitable access, outcomes transparency, and employer engagement. WTEA certifies excellence in career-building education with a focus on rigorous assessment of workforce outcomes and skill development rather than regulating the mode of instruction or curriculum, freeing institutions to find what works best for their learners and employer partners. Ascent partners with WTEA to review and verify quality assurance metrics for partner schools & programs. More information about WTEA is available at https://www.workforcetalent.org/
