    Credentialing Pathways: Challenging the Status Quo

Certification boards are uniquely positioned to champion entry into a field of practice, but first must be prepared to challenge their own structures and processes related to eligibility requirements. This podcast is a thought-provoking call to action for certification bodies to consider how they: Can recognize and promote non-traditional routes of entry to a career; Might leverage their relationships with educational and other institutions to support upskilling/bridging opportunities for faster entry to practice; and Take into account the barriers within one’s credentialing body that prevent change.
