Education, Credentialing & Development

Human Resources, Talent & Workforce Development

Apprenticeships, competency programs, corporate academies and employee credentials.

Sector overview

Employers and workforce intermediaries increasingly certify skills internally, run apprenticeships and build academies. CHSPS reviews the defined program — not the employer: structured work-based learning where observed performance drives sign-off (WBL), employee certificates earned by assessment (ABC), or corporate education systems and courses (EDP, COURSE).

How applicability is assessed

  1. Describe what you operate. The program, credential, education offering or system — not just your sector.
  2. CHSPS confirms pathway and scope in writing. The free eligibility review records exactly what would be reviewed and what is excluded.
  3. Only an independent decision creates accreditation. Listing here, inquiry, payment or evidence submission does not.
