iLerntOne skills language, every framework
Institutions speak more than one competency language: career services align to NACE, academic assessment offices to AAC&U learning outcomes, Canadian programs to the Government of Canada's OaSIS and Skills for Success, and employers search in O*NET and ESCO terms. Every piece of evidence a learner builds in iLernt is mapped once — and readable in all of them.
