Industry roles and career pathways: defects, verification and a case study

The most common defects in career information, the source that settles each, and a worked case study of a job ad checked claim by claim.

You will be able to: Spot and correct misleading career claims (a wrong credential name, an undated number, an unregistered program, an assumed license, a missing training record), verify each against its source, and apply the checks to a job ad.

How career claims go wrong

Job ads, resumes and videos squeeze facts into a few words. Four things go wrong most often: a credential is named wrongly, a number loses its date, one program is treated as the rule, and a legal status is assumed.

Each has a quick check.

The defects below are the ones this module has already given you the sources to check.

Glossary

Registration Agency
The body that registers an apprenticeship program's standards: a state office of the DOL Office of Apprenticeship or a State Apprenticeship Agency.
Written certification record
The employer's record that a worker was trained to recognize fall hazards: the worker's name, the training date or dates, and the signature of the trainer or employer.
Typical versus required
A typical figure (such as a 4- or 5-year apprenticeship) describes what most people do. A required figure comes from a rule or from the standards of the program you join.
NRCA ProCertification
