IBM, Apple and Google, along with 11 other large employers, recently announced that a four-year college degree would no longer be required for hiring, noting that too many graduates lack “real world” skills for today’s job market. How job candidates acquire their knowledge and skills matters less than their ability to prove that they have the skills needed by the market.
Many employers are moving toward skill-based hiring and are relying on credentials—such as badges, certificates, certifications, and micro-credentials—that provide evidence of competence. Some experts even argue that we are becoming a “credential society.”
Students, for their part, are seeking non-traditional educational paths including on-the-job apprenticeships and internships, software boot camps, two-year degrees, technical certificates, credentials and online coursework.
Working closely with dozens of credentialing programs in multiple industries for the past 20 years, Leslie Thomas, Ph.D., distills certification success into four immutable laws. This is a presentation of penetrating insight informed by two decades of real-world experience. It identifies the proven strategies for success at the very moment that credentialing is taking its place as the preferred tool for demonstrating competence and skill in today’s job market.
Leslie Thomas, Ph.D. will co-present at the OEB 2019 session entitled, Hard-Won Lessons: Securing Credentialing Success. Her specific topic will be The Four Immutable Laws of Credentialing Success. The presentation is scheduled for Friday, November 29 from 12:00 to 13:00 in room Charlottenburg III at the Hotel Intercontinental in Berlin, Germany.
