What is a Credential?
About
The term credential encompasses educational certificates, degrees, certifications, and government-issued licenses; here's an overview of those achievements.
Education and work-related credentials are important milestones for many individual career pathways. Credentials are also valuable to employers, allowing them to determine the skill or education level of job applicants without having to perform an assessment for each one.
