WSJ Your Money Briefing · How to Navigate the Credentials Marketplace · 15 Oct 2021 podcast

Or is it a credential that's just gonna sit by itself and you really can't do anything else with it if that first idea you had doesn't work out?

So I'm gonna go back to the first advice of don't try and do this on your own.

Don't rely on what's being pushed to you.

Go out and talk to people and dig up as much information as you can.

Yeah, 100% agree.

Really make sure that what you're getting is 100% relevant to what you want to do.

So are the skills actually aligned to what the employers are looking for?

Look at the pathways and stackable options.

Again, I think it's really important.

The vast majority of us are not going to be in any one job or two jobs or even three or four jobs

for our entire career.

We're going to change and we're going to have to reskill consistently.

So try and find things that consciously do build on each other.

See if people who have done this before you are actually getting the jobs.

what percentage they're getting them, and how do they report their numbers?

Is it just the three people they like, or is it everybody who's gone through it and where are they getting those numbers?

So there is no, and this is part of the challenge in this country, there is no single quality standard that we ask all credentials to report against.

So you're a little bit of a disadvantage here, to be quite honest, and you can't ask too many questions.

And if they don't answer it, take that as a sign that they don't have an answer that you want to hear.

Skills today and being able to demonstrate and list exactly what you earn, not just that I got this credential, but here were the top 10 skills.
