Speaker Biographies Sharon Boivin, Ph.D On the Road to Improving the Credentialing Ecosystem: Next Steps in the Credential Registry September 19, 2016 Speaker Biographies Sharon Boivin, Ph.D. Dr. Sharon Boivin, a senior advisor in the Sample Surveys Division of the National Center for Facilitator Education Statistics (NCES), served for the past 9 years as chair of the Interagency Working Group on Expanded Measures of Enrollment and Attainment (GEMEnA). During this time, she focused on assessing the current state of federal statistical data on the preparation and credentialing of adults for work and on initiating projects to fill data gaps in that area. To accomplish this goal, GEMEnA developed and validated federal survey items on the prevalence and characteristics of non-degree credentials (including certifications, licenses, and certificates) among the U.S. adult population. New survey items have now been incorporated into major federal surveys including the Survey of Income and Program Participation, the National Survey of College Graduates, the Current Population Survey, and NCES’s own Adult Training and Education Survey. Taken together, these new data sources provide a comprehensive national picture of U.S. adults with certifications and licenses. Boivin began her career at NCES in 1987 and later spent 9 years in the private sector before returning to federal service in 2008. Her Ph.D. in educational research is from the University of Virginia.
