Script
- An academic credential is an educational credential that is issued by an educational institution or credentialing body to certify specific academic achievements traditionally related to someone's knowledge.
- For instance, diplomas commonly testify that the recipient has achieved specified objectives of a particular course of study. In the United States, there are two ways to get diplomas for high school-level academic skills. First, students can get graduated from a high school and receive a high school diploma. Second, they can pass the special test and receive GED (General Equivalency Diploma).
- Some educational institutions award professional degrees that usually meet both academic requirements for licensure or accreditation and professional experience in the credentialed profession.
- There are two more opposite trends that are worthy to be mentioned.
- On one hand, credentialism or academic inflation refers to the tendency of the devaluation of educational qualifications because of the needs of educational institutions to increase revenues and cut expenses, on one side, and increasing demands, on the other side. This process further provokes credential creep.
- On another hand, a few occupations don't require academic achievements. All in all, the probability that you will ever meet any recruiter who has earned the degree in Recruitment is obsolete.
Workforce Developers is the successor lectio.
