Description:

The future of certification starts long before someone becomes a certification candidate. As career interests shift, workforce shortages grow, and competition for talent increases, an important question is emerging for credentialing organizations: What role should they play in building the future workforce?

Drawing on the experiences of NBCOT and DANB, this session will explore how certification organizations can help build the workforce pipeline by increasing awareness of career and advancement opportunities and strengthening the value of certification throughout a professional journey. Presenters will share strategies, lessons learned, and practical examples that other credentialing organizations can consider as they think about their own workforce challenges.

Learning objectives:

Examine the current trends reshaping certification and the workforce
Identify engaging strategies to increase awareness about career and advancement opportunities within a profession
Explore how certification can strengthen the workforce pipeline
