Case Study: Texas State Technical College achieves competency-based curriculum and individualized career pathways with SkillsEngine

Texas State Technical College deploys competency-based curricula in months with SkillsEngine

Texas State Technical College (TSTC) sought to transition its programs to a competency-based model to better align with industry needs and provide students with more flexible, individualized career pathways. To achieve this, they partnered with vendor SkillsEngine and utilized their Calibrate software tool to rebuild their curriculum with industry-validated insights.

Using SkillsEngine's Calibrate platform, TSTC created detailed competency profiles that were rated by employers in real-time. This enabled the college to rapidly redesign courses matched to certifications and stackable credentials, allowing students to progress based on mastery rather than semesters. The solution provided by SkillsEngine offered TSTC continuous curriculum review and resulted in the deployment of customized, transparent, and mastery-driven educational outcomes for a myriad of roles in a matter of months.
