An education and work-related credential can be defined as a verification of an individual’s qualifications or competence issued by a third party with the relevant authority to issue such credentials (U.S. Department of Labor, 2010). High-quality credentials are recognized by multiple employers across an industry.
The term “industry recognized,” used with respect to a credential, means a credential that:
A. Is sought or accepted by employers within the industry or sector involved as a recognized, preferred, or required credential for recruitment, screening, hiring, retention or advancement purposes; and,
B. Where appropriate, is endorsed by a nationally recognized trade association or organization representing a significant part of the industry or sector.
