The platform is intended for states, workforce agencies, educational systems, employers, and individuals, with open standards such as open badges and learner records, as well as data from onetonline.org, bls.gov, academic catalogs, and skills systems. LER.me provides an open-access LER Wallet for individuals, free credential issuance, an employer marketplace for job posting and skills-based talent discovery, and public labor market analytics for states and agencies.

Kristin Delwo, President of EBSCOed, said, “We built LER.me as a shared and foundational infrastructure for the workforce ecosystem. The technology exists, the policies are in place, and the economic case for LER talent marketplaces is overwhelming. Our job, via LER.me, is to unleash the possibilities and opportunities to everyone who uses it and contributes to it.” By offering a scalable, sustainable platform, EBSCOed aims to empower all stakeholders with actionable workforce intelligence and seamless connections between learning and employment pathways.
