fafsa calendar information

Beginning on Oct. 1, 2016, students will be able to fill out the FAFSA for the 2017–18 school year. (In the past, they had to wait until January 1). In addition, applicants will no longer need to estimate income and tax information and will be able to retrieve their data directly from the IRS, right from the first day the FAFSA is available. Students also will have information about their Expected Family Contributions earlier, helping them as they’re going through the college application and selection process.

Recognition of Skills Paves Paths to Employment

November 30, 2022

Free Webinar | 11/30/22 | 2:00 - 3:00 PM ET

Higher education is a major driver of personal progress, meaning it has a huge impact on helping learners get employed and become more economically resilient. Having greater transparency around skills within a credential—including non-degree achievements and competencies—are easily accessible and actionable. This also gives learners greater visibility into their development milestones, what skills they can claim, and how they can better represent themselves to employers.

Join us on Wednesday 30th November (2:00 ET, 11:00 PT) as we discuss how recognition (and the credentialing) of skills helps pave the path for greater employment opportunities, on-the-job success, and job satisfaction. Topics covered include:
  • Why collecting skills based credentials and credential transparency is important
  • Ways that education is making skills public, easily accessible, and actionable today
  • What education needs to do to make skills and skill based credentialing more impactful

This webinar was made possible due to the partnership of Parchment.
