scope:

The LER Ecosystem Recommended Practices 1484.2 provides recommended practices for learning and employment records related to ecosystems utilizing these components:

1. LER Registry

2. LER Awarder

3. LER Transmitter

4. LER Digital Wallets

5. LER Talent Marketplaces

A Learning and Employment Record (LER) provides information about an individual's learning experiences, credentials, and qualifications, including employment history and jobs data, that have been issued to the individual such that this LER Holder (or their legal guardian or authorized agent) can control how the information is presented and shared within the LER Ecosystem. An LER is stored in an LER Digital Wallet, or equivalent, having features that allow LER Holders to share all or part of their records with others. LERs can be created by the individual or by a third party known as an LER Awarder. In addition, some LERs can be digitally verified with the LER Transmitter. Participants in this LER Ecosystem Framework include the entities that award and transmit the LER, those that support validation of the LER, the subject or guardian as the LER Holder, as well as the organizations of the LER Talent Marketplaces that can access LERs presented by LER Holders.
