With former Secretary of Labor Elaine Chou

Barbara has lived in three countries, and in three states in the United States. She has worked as an educator at all levels. She has worked in the private sector and is an appointee of three state governors. She has worked with federal policy makers to help shape the national perspective on economic development, education, and career development.

She is recognized as the person responsible for the development of the Career Readiness Certificate, a portable skills credential that is currently being deployed in 48 states and is a topic of discussion in several more. Barbara is the founder/president of the National Organization for Career Credentialing.

WIN, Inc. awarded Barbara the 2006 Crystal Globe Award for her outstanding national work on the CRC.

Barbara Bolin has repeatedly demonstrated her ability to inform and advise groups of all sizes: from executives in boardrooms, to employees in training rooms, large community groups, and to many hundreds of professionals at national conferences.

Perhaps it’s her natural teaching talent; perhaps it’s her personality and lively sense of humor; perhaps it’s her ability to use the language precisely to convey her message quickly and unambiguously. Whatever it is, it works!
