The American National Standards Institute (ANSI) is pleased to announce that Workcred, Inc. has been integrated into ANSI, effective July 1, 2026. As a new division of ANSI, Workcred will continue to advance its mission of strengthening workforce quality by improving the credentialing system and preparing employers, workers, educators, and governments to use it effectively. The transition reflects ANSI’s continued commitment to strengthening the organization, supporting its community, and building on the distinct capabilities each team contributes—opening the door to greater collaboration, effective resource sharing, and new opportunities that benefit everyone we serve.
“Workcred has made significant progress in advancing the relevance, quality, and value of workforce credentials, and bringing its work fully within ANSI will further strengthen our collective impact on the U.S. credentialing system,” said Laurie E. Locascio, Ph.D., NAE, ANSI president and CEO. “Together, we are well positioned to continue driving improvements that benefit workers, employers, educators, and the broader workforce.”
