Revolutionizing America’s Skills Economy

Institutions of Higher Education spend $27B on regulatory compliance — $6B on accreditation alone — yet still struggle to prove which programs deliver real economic value or translate learning into workforce-relevant skills.

The National Accreditation Commission fixes that. Through our AIHub platform, we automate and streamline programmatic compliance while translating academic programs into verified, employer-relevant skills — replacing fragmented, paper-based reviews with continuous, data-driven verification that measures outcomes, validates quality, and directs funding toward programs that actually work for learners, employers, states, and accreditors.

Mission

Empowering Skills. Verifying Success
The National Accreditation Commission transforms workforce education by verifying program quality, translating learning into employer-relevant skills, and connecting training directly to real employment outcomes—so every American can access skills-based pathways that lead to opportunity.

Vision

The Operating System for America’s Workforce Future
We envision a workforce system where skills—not seat time or paperwork—define quality; where real-time data replaces guesswork; and where every program is accountable for real economic opportunity. NAC is building the national infrastructure that makes workforce education as reliable and scalable as the internet—setting a new standard for excellence, accelerating innovation, and delivering verified pathways to economic mobility for learners nationwide.

What We Do: Building Tomorrow’s Workforce Infrastructure Today

NAC operates a national, AI-powered compliance verification system that automates compliance, translates learning into skills, and connects workforce programs directly to employment outcomes.

Through AIHub, we replace static, manual reviews with continuous, data-driven accountability across six core functions that together form the operating system for skills-based workforce education:

  • AI-Powered Compliance Engine – Automating program review and accreditation workflows in real time—replacing months of manual documentation with intelligent verification while maintaining rigorous quality standards.
  • Evidence-Based Verification – Moving beyond self-attestation by integrating directly with state administrative and employment data to verify completion, placement, and earnings outcomes.
  • Skills-First Accreditation Model – Translating academic and workforce curricula into verified, employer-relevant skills—creating the nation’s first AI-enabled accreditation framework centered on competencies, not seat time.
  • Real-Time Outcome Tracking – Partnering with the Coleridge Initiative to securely access live employment and wage data nationwide, enabling unprecedented transparency and accountability
  • Braided Funding Optimization – Automating compliance and eligibility verification across federal and state workforce funding streams—ensuring funds are aligned to outcomes, spent once, and auditable in real time.
  • Scalable Quality Assurance – Delivering a tiered, replicable framework that allows states to adopt components or the full system—reducing administrative burden from months to minutes while preserving program integrity.
