Description:
For voluntary certifications, sponsoring organizations need to demonstrate and substantiate why their certification matters, why it is important for those in the profession to have it, and why it is important for employers to hire those who’ve earned it.
For licensure organizations, the importance of the license is a given. So much so that the government has mandated that practitioners be licensed in order to practice and that having the license is critical for the employer and public. All the while, the consumer benefits because there is accountability and recourse should a licensed practitioner not perform to the expected standard.
How can certification organizations create the argument and perhaps urgency that a voluntary certification is just as important as a licensure? This is where a finely tuned and substantiated value proposition can help. This session will address ways to develop your organization’s value proposition for your certification program.
