the process
Linked Learning uses research-based and practice-tested standards and independent evaluation to certify high-quality college and career pathways. The process supports self-evaluation, goal setting, and continuous improvement for better and more equitable student outcomes. After registering and providing preliminary pathway data candidate pathway teams can join the Linked Learning community and begin their certification journey using Silver certification standards.

Candidate Pathways
Pathway teams identify strengths and goals and begin aligning their work to the Silver standards.
Using the certification platform, pathways submit basic student demographic and pathway data.
Upon submitting, pathways pay a $59 fee to gain access to the certification portal.
Our Goal:
One million young people in Gold Certified Linked Learning Pathways by 2030.
