Why Should I Get Certified? 

Career assistance is offered in a wide variety of work settings by staff who commonly come from a wide variety of backgrounds and receive very little formal training.  Without licensure available in the career development field, official certification based on rigorous standards set by a nationally recognized organization formally validates your professional competency, and elevates your credibility with clients and employers.
