How to Co-Design: A Practical Approach to Human-Centered Skill Validation
Tuesday July 22, 2025 12:00pm - 12:30pm MDT
CASE W262
Two years ago, the Lab launched the Skills Validation Network, a group of innovators from 15+ organizations across the skills-based ecosystem, with an ambitious mission: to expand the methods, tools, and opportunities available to validate skills gained through work and life experience for individuals who are Skilled Through Alternative Routes (STARs).
Applying a human-centered design approach, the Lab team has guided Network members through an exploration of the problem space and  an iterative ideation process, involving co-designing with a number of key stakeholders closest to the problems we are attempting to solve. We will share our experiences with stakeholder co-design and hear how others use a similar approach to solve problems in their areas of interest.
