Education Design Lab

Education Design Lab (“the Lab”) is a national nonprofit helping educators and employers respond to the changing needs of "nontraditional" students. The Lab has partnered with over 100 community colleges to design credit pathways that better serve student flexibility with more data-driven, human-centered processes and tools. Our biggest areas of work include improved career pathway visibility, micro-pathways, 21st Century skills, micro-credentials, alternative on-ramps to degree, upskilling workers and training college leadership teams on prototyping. The Lab is unlike other organizations in the nonprofit higher education space. We work alongside the government, colleges, employers, foundations and nonprofit partners. We are known for our work with organizations like Ascendium, The Lumina Foundation, the Gates Foundation, Walmart, American Council on Education and the ECMC Foundation.
