Mission

DESPITE THERE BEING MORE THAN A MILLION CREDENTIALS TO CHOOSE FROM IN THE U.S., THERE IS LITTLE GUIDANCE ON WHICH ONES OFFER THE GREATEST RETURN ON INVESTMENT FOR WORKERS AND EMPLOYERS. OUR MISSION IS TO BRING CLARITY TO THE NDC LANDSCAPE BY CREATING A FIRST-OF-ITS-KIND, UNIVERSAL SIGNAL OF QUALITY THAT DOES NOT RELY ON DATA COLLECTED BY PROVIDERS, BUT INSTEAD USES REAL WORKERS' OUTCOMES BEFORE AND AFTER THEY ATTAIN NDCS. BY PROVIDING COMPREHENSIVE DATA ON NDC QUALITY AND DEPLOYING TANGIBLE TOOLS TO ACTIVATE THIS INFORMATION, WE CAN EMPOWER MILLIONS OF U.S. WORKERS TO TRANSLATE SKILLS INTO BETTER JOBS.

Activities or mission (Part I)

EQOS INTENDS TO CREATE UNIVERSAL STANDARDS FOR POST-SECONDARY INSTITUTIONS. THROUGH THE USE OF UNIVERSAL STANDARDS, EQOS WILL INFLUENCE STUDENT OUTCOMES DATA REPORTING IN THE POST-SECONDARY FIELD SO THAT STUDENTS, STATE AGENCIES, AND EMPLOYERS CAN MAKE APPLES TO APPLES COMPARISONS ABOUT PROGRAM QUALITY.

  • WE HELP POST SECONDARY PROVIDERS COLLECT AND REPORT REALWORLD OUTCOMES DATA IN ORDER TO ESTABLISH CONSISTENT QUALITY ASSURANCE STANDARDS ACROSS EDUCATION AND TRAINING PROGRAMS. EQOS HAS DEVELOPED A ROBUST QUALITY ASSURANCE FRAMEWORK AND APPROACH FOR EDUCATION AND TRAINING PROVIDERS. TODAY, THE FRAMEWORK IS BEING PILOTED IN COLORADO, INDIANA, AND NEW JERSEY. IN ADDITION TO CREATING AND DEFINING THE METRICS FOR OUR FIVE OUTCOMES STANDARD CATEGORIES, WE ASSIST INDIVIDUAL EDUCATION PROVIDERS IN UNDERSTANDING THE FRAMEWORK AND PROVIDE TECHNICAL ASSISTANCE IN THE ACTUAL COLLECTION AND REPORTING OF THE OUTCOMES DATA. WE ALSO ASSIST STATE GOVERNMENTS AND POLICYMAKERS IN UNDERSTANDING THE RESULTS AND USING THE FRAMEWORK TO INCENTIVIZE THE IDENTIFICATION AND SCALING OF EDUCATION PROGRAMS THAT HAVE MEASURABLE REALWORLD SUCCESSES IN TRAINING OR RETRAINING VULNERABLE POPULATIONS.

Compensation is as filed in Part VII: reportable pay from this organization and from related organizations, other compensation, and hours per week. The total, marked calculated, is our sum of the three dollar columns, with a blank column counted as $0; the form itself has no total. On a Form 990-EZ the columns are Part IV's instead, and on a Form 990-PF Part VIII's — compensation, contributions to benefit plans, and expense account — and the total sums those. A Schedule J breakdown is as filed: base pay, bonus, other, deferred compensation and nontaxable benefits from this organization, with any from related organizations beside each, and the filer's own total. It is shown with the Part VII listing of the same name on the same return. The form gives no key between the two, so that pairing is ours, and is marked matched by us.
