Education Design Lab

Education Design Lab (“the Lab”) is a national nonprofit helping leaders in education and work 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, durable skills, micro-credentials, alternative on-ramps to degree, upskilling workers and training college leadership teams on human-centered design. The Lab is unlike other organizations in the nonprofit higher education space. We work alongside the federal government, colleges, employers, foundations and nonprofits. 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.
