Many professionals seek out and earn professional licenses and certifications after graduating from college. Licensure and certification credentials support the qualifications of professionals in their field and may be required by your employer. Certification recognizes professionals who have achieved a specific level of training or experience and is generally voluntarily. Licensure is typically mandated by an accrediting agency that gives individuals the permission to practice within their profession.
